...Nominated Princeton's Professor Henry DeWolf Smyth, author of the famed Smyth Report on atomic energy, and the University of Southern California's Professor Gordon Evans Dean, onetime law partner of Connecticut's Senator Brien McMahon, to fill the existing vacancies on the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission...
...title, Experimental Air-Borne Infection, were published (Williams & Wilkins: $4). This project's chief was serious, dark-eyed Theodor Rosebury,* now back at his old job as associate professor in the department of bacteriology at Columbia College of Physicians & Surgeons. The book does for bacteriological warfare what the Smyth report did for atomic warfare. But nowhere in the book are the horrid words "bacterial warfare" even mentioned...
...fact, Molotov said no more than U.S. scientists and political spokesmen have been saying plainly for two years.

To make the bomb requires a host of highly developed technological "secrets" which Russia might not have. In time Russia" would have all these little secrets, too. The U.S. understood that the Russians would some day be able to make the bomb. That was one reason why the U.S. had offered free exchange of all information, provided only that subscribing nations...

Leonard got hold of the now famous Smyth report, sat up until 4 a.m. digesting it and wrote his story, which, checked by an atomic physicist, turned out to be correct in every detail. The Smyth report later proved to be the real news of atomic fission...
