Poor Oppenheimer, preparing feverishly for a security hearing that's a foregone conclusion. It's interesting, now that I think about it, how his greatest triumph was as an administrator, and yet it's administrative bureaucracy--the hierarchies of power--that are his undoing here.

Oppenheimer’s starting to crumble—surrounded by powerful enemies who are laying the case against him. His attempts to direct nuclear policy floundering.

The magical tea house of Edith Warner. Oppenheimer’s stunning adoption attempt.

Feynman's Prestige disappearing act. The constant surveillance of Oppenheimer; a menacing chat about Communists which will compel him to come clean about the Chevalier incident.

Oppenheimer had ~Communist sympathies~ but no actual membership.
Frank once accidentally sent his Communist card in his shirt pocket to the laundry—it came back neatly in a separate envelope. A fellow sympathizer!
