Brandt Goldstein, the author of “Storming the Court,” was noticeable from across the street. Sure, I had seen his picture on the dustcover of the book, but there was no mistaking that this tall, gaunt-faced man was a writer: Goldstein was wearing a black turtleneck and square rimmed glasses. He was the very image of a bohemian artiste. So it was hard to see the Yale Law School graduate as a full-time attorney at a Washington, DC law firm, where he worked until Oct. 1997. He left the profession to pursue writing...

...desert of Los Alamos, N.M., and hundreds of scientists were shipped in. A physics Dream Team was assembled: Teller, Hans Bethe, and Richard Feynman, among others. The heavy responsibility of overseeing these great minds and building the bomb wore away at Oppenheimer. Two years in, he only carried a gaunt 115 pounds on a 5-foot-10-inch frame, and his four-to-five pack-a-day cigarette habit did not help his health. These chapters in the book center on the physicists’ lives while leaving the scientific aspects on the backburner—a focus that most...

James Larson, his attorney, claimed that "the Government has systematically exaggerated the significance of the information that it believes has been passed by Mr. Whitworth." Justice Department sources told TIME that plea-bargaining discussions were under way with Whitworth's attorneys. If Whitworth pleads guilty and testifies against John Walker, he would not undergo the humiliation of a trial...
