...Army machinist stationed in Los Alamos as part of what turned out to be the Manhattan Project. In January 1945, he said, Julius Rosenberg asked him to watch out for a new bomb, parts of which he soon found himself machining. On June 3, Green-glass handed lens-mold sketches to a courier who gave the password "I come from Julius." In September, Greenglass went to New York and gave Rosenberg a cross-section sketch of a Nagasaki-type bomb. Greenglass pleaded guilty before testifying, got a 15-year sentence after the trial, and is now free. > Harry Gold...
...disapproved of the 1950's soldier, whose mind was directed toward tactics more than politics. The two of them could, with more justification than the Pentagon, use as their slogan for the 1960's: "Join the NEW Army."

Director Chaplin, who played only a cameo role in Countess and left the acting to Sophia Loren and Marlon Brando, said that he couldn't care less about the reviews: "I still think it's a great film...
Nameless Presence. In Dewart's brief sketch of a theology for the future, the church might no longer talk of God as a Trinity, since the terminology-three persons in one nature-is also applicable only to finite beings. Nor will God be considered omnipotent. Platonic thinking led the scholastics to envision a God who stood over and against nature. The idea of God as a transcendental presence implies to Dewart that God is to be envisioned as a reality found in and through nature, as the shaping force of history. And in so far as the word...
