...Morton Sobell, 33, college classmate of Rosenberg and an electronics research worker for the Government in World War II. He was the only one of the defendants to flee the U.S. (to Mexico) after the arrests of British Physicist Klaus Fuchs and Courier Harry Gold broke up the ring...
Made in Argentina. At the President's side was Dr. Ronald Richter, a plump, Austrian-born physicist (German University of Prague), who has been associated with Argentina's atomic program ever since it was begun all of nine months ago. Through an air force interpreter, the doctor announced in rich Austrian German: "What we have accomplished is strictly Argentine-it is infinitely superior to the system used in the U.S. . . . For some time now, Argentina has known the secret of the hydrogen bomb [but] I have always found a refusal on General Perón's part...
Words & Baloney. While no one would deny that the Argentines might have produced some sort of laboratory-scale nuclear reaction, non-Argentine scientists were skeptical. "This is an interesting series of words," said an AEC physicist, "but it means nothing to me." Said Dr. Ralph E. Lapp, onetime chief of the Office of Naval Research: "I know what that other material is that the Argentines are using. It's baloney." Snapped Juan Perón: "I am not interested in what the U.S. or any other country thinks...

Thus prosaic Mrs. Greenglass added her testimony to the story of a far-flung Russian espionage ring whose purpose was to steal U.S. atomic secrets (TIME, March 19).

...sure? Fuchs was a theoretical physicist (one of the best), and the matters he dealt with were abstract and difficult. It is hard to transmit such knowledge from one qualified scientific mind to another, even with plenty of time and many face-to-face conversations. There is an excellent chance that much of Fuchs's information never reached Russian physicists in a form they...
