Fascinating and timely. I once had the wholly unearned delight of working with Ed Teller for two weeks in the 80s. He was the only one of the leaders not to be nominated for a Nobel Prize; it is generally agreed that was for the unforgiveable sin of inventing the hydrogen bomb.

It was there when I posted it. The copy right holder most likely pulled it in response to the new hit movie. They may sense they can make more money off of it.

You can watch Sam Waterson portray Oppenheimer in a 1980 BBC miniseries. You can watch it for free on YouTube:

Thank you for this very timely information! I wonder whether the Library of Congress will put on an exhibition in the coming months?

It is interesting to know that the Library of Congress has such extensive archives. I wonder whether anyone is working on a biography of Oppenheimer now that the movie has aroused such great interest
