The latest Nobel laureate to experience his attentions is Dr. Dennis Gabor, the inventor of holography.

She is concerned in principle with the scientist's responsibility to consider harmful effects of his research. In practice, this means only that she would be "sympathetic" to a scientist's decision not to develop a weapon if he knew...
