Among the nation's scientists and technicians, neither Julius Rosenberg nor Morton Sobell is a conspicuous man. There are thousands like them; their names are unknown. Intense, spectacled, nondescript, they carry out the tedious testing of others' ideas, the intricate mechanical drudgery of the laboratory and the industrial plant. But last week Rosenberg, an electrical engineer, and Sobell, an electronics expert-two faceless men out of faceless thousands-were suddenly projected from anonymity into the hot glare of public scrutiny. They went on trial for a farflung, sustained conspiracy to steal the U.S.'s most vital military...
Seated in Manhattan's federal courthouse, in the same courtroom where the eleven Communist leaders were brought to book, Defendant Sobell, 33, nervously scrubbed his fingers along his chin as the Government began its case. Tall and pale, Julius Rosenberg, 33, drummed on the counsel table; his wife, Mrs. Ethel Green-glass Rosenberg, indicted with them as a fellow conspirator, was the calmest.

And as for those disqualified for mental deficiencies, "even if a man can't read Latin or Greek, he can do a little fighting...
...Like Anyone Else." Mrs. Rosenberg replied that physical standards were already down to World War II levels, that mental standards were being lowered "as far as security will permit." The 4-F files were under review, she said, and she estimated that about 150,000 4-Fs could be drafted for limited service (a figure she later revised to 75,000 to 80,000). "Athletes will be regarded like anyone else," she said. "If an athlete has a punctured eardrum, he will be inducted, because men with punctured eardrums are taken...
