...Physicist Robley D. Evans, another fruit-fly expert, concluded that hereditary abnormalities are unlikely if a small fraction of the population suffers moderate radiation exposure. Acting as an informal referee, Dr. Shields Warren, the A.E.C.'s top radiation expert, sided with Evans but called it "a matter of opinion...
...also some tall guesses as to how the Russians are getting on with their bombmaking. David (No Place to Hide) Bradley, a doctor of medicine who is a tyro in atomic science, declared: "The Russians have the secret of the bomb .. . They may have the bomb." Said Nobel-Prize Physicist Arthur Compton: "Russia does not have the bomb. The Russians will not know they have it until they succeed in exploding one." Compton also said that as soon as the Russians set off a bomb, scientists the world over will know it, from radioactivity in the upper atmosphere (TIME...
...sponsoring committee was studded with the well-intentioned, the gullible, the confused, and salted with Communists. The committee was headed by Harvard Astronomer Harlow Shapley, who has long had red stars in his eyes. Besides such unsurprising names as Henry A.

Security for Zoé? At this heady point a sobering word came from famed Physicist Dr. Frédéric Joliot-Curie, who tends France's atomic pile, known as "Zoe," at Fort de Châtillon. It was "nonsense," he said, to claim Saint-Sylvestre's uranium strike as the world's richest. The Belgian Congo fields were yielding a 50% ore. However, Saint-Sylvestre's pitchblende deposits, though not yet fully explored, were of major importance. They might keep Zoé going without imports...
