In 1947 he came within one step of working out the theoretical mechanics (at a seminar in Los Alamos attended by Dr. Klaus Fuchs, who was at the time passing information to the Russians). But there the superbomb had rested because nobody (in the U.S.) could mobilize the intellectual and moral energy necessary to make the decision to go ahead with...
