ROTC will never be the answer to our ineptitude in the armed forces, but a sound officer-training program in the universities is one of many sensible approaches to effect reform.

Lawyers, friends, enemies discourse on Oppenheimer's Communist relations and friends, on his in spired leadership of the team of physicists who produced the atomic bomb, and on his reluctance to lend himself to the crash program for the hydrogen bomb...
