...Greenglass, addressing yourself to the Government's Exhibit 8, if you please, is that a cross section of the atomic bomb...
...Army technical sergeant in World War II, David Greenglass committed parts of the A-bomb to memory, passed on his data to his sister, Ethel Rosenberg, and her husband Julius for transmission to the Soviet Union. As an accomplice to the espionage, Greenglass turned state's evidence against the Rosenbergs, drew a 15-year stretch in 1951. Two years later, the Rosenbergs were electrocuted at Sing Sing. After more than nine years in a federal pen, Greenglass, 38, was turned loose in Manhattan last week, went off to join his wife Ruth and their two children. On emerging from...
Temporarily sprung from the Lewisburg, Pa. federal pen to testify before the Senate's Internal Security subcommittee, Atom Spies Harry Gold (doing a 30-year stretch) and David Greenglass (15 years) provided some intriguing marginal notes to the history of U.S. treason.

...Greenglasses finally confessed their part in the treachery. So did Harry Gold, the courier who transmitted to Yakovlev the Greenglass A-bomb data (he also passed on information from Britain's Klaus Fuchs). There were other corroboratory witnesses. But the Rosenbergs denied all, though confession might have won them a lesser sentence, through the three weeks of their 1951 trial and through two subsequent years of appeal and judicial review. In prison, Ethel sang folk songs, and such melodies as the aria One Fine Day from Madame Butterfly and John Brown's Body (also the tune of Solidarity...
