...examination of the decade's most sensational security-risk case: the Atomic Energy Commission's 1954 decision revoking the security clearance of Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, wartime director of the Los Alamos A-bomb laboratory and later chairman of the AEC's General Advisory Committee. A three-man special board headed by the University of North Carolina's President Gordon Gray (now Defense Mobilization Director) concluded in 1954 that Oppenheimer was a loyal citizen, but that past "disregard for the requirements of the security system" made him a security risk.

President Lester Lum Colbert: "You are proposing that management abdicate its responsibilities-and that months after sustaining a drastically reduced income, a company would go before the U.A.W. or before a three-man panel to attempt to justify its need for partial relief." Henry Ford II: "The rapid increases in wages of automobile workers over the past ten years, which were negotiated under the duress of your demands, have unquestionably contributed to inflation. Thus, having poured gasoline on the fires . . . you now stand...
