the discovery had been made in germany. many of the leading physicists in germany were deeply involved in the development of nuclear physics. they seemed to have a head start over the rest of the world. there was a profound sense of fear, a race toward developing the atomic bomb, which intel the program for at least the first years. >> as the reports from those emigrating scientists came in -- and many of them fled to this country but had a network at home cut -- and their report to this country that there were rumors, research going on in germany, and that germany was ahead of us in the development of a very powerful new kind of weapon. as these reports came through, and we had civilian scientists, leaders of institutions like bush of the carnegie institution, james conant of harvard -- as these men heard the reports, they grew alarmed and of course we have very quickly, to move their history, we have a very famous and very and scientist who drafted his friend, albert einstein, to write a letter finally to president roosev

the chancellor of germany -- i thought i would get that letter out and say remember that idea you had? i could have been famous. i console myself with the fog that if we had done a book together she might not be chancellor of germany today. anything i would have been happy with would have been too liberal for her conservative party to face in germany. i think as a researcher the things i find most satisfying is because i have some training in the national science, social sciences. i do a lot of reading. my staff gives me this many clips every day of science journals and newspapers and things to read. it is being able to see how of things connect and the relationship between them. whether it is government departments or university departments, there is a tendency to put things down into a fairly narrow lens. the challenge is to see how of things fit together and to realize future food security for example will be determined as much by energy misters -- ministers as but agriculture ministers. the role of family planning will be as important as farmers in achieving sustainable balance go

i believe it said that a unified germany has to be associated with nato.ere was something and let the -- something there that was potentially harmful for the alliance. i think his initial reaction was the soviets would never accept that. baker is a great negotiator, and he said yes, that should be our opening position. to his great credit and a lot of other people, what looked like something the soviets would never accept eventually became something they embraced. i do like to think it is important that we achieve this agreement that this was something important, and we did not have to have a three-hour discussion about whether this language was harmful or not. if you give me an opportunity in questions to talk about informal process is, but let me -- two more things. business and has become a very important part of the process. it started shortly after the war came out. and he said more or less, this is not quite a direct quote, but he said that he was going to go and defend one more cold war budget, and it would take a piece of it out of his back, but it

you were trying to explain why japan and germany were successful in spite of unpromising history. i agree it was an unprecedented situation. i remember sitting in south korea in 1983 when ronald reagan visited. george shultz was told by senior diplomats not to push the regime too hard on human rights. south korea it never had a democracy in its history and was not ready for one. four years later, they had a democratic revolution in the country. i have heard people say that indonesia has no democratic history and is too poor to have one. it now has 10 years of rather impressive democracy. it may be an oversimplification, but i am much more inclined to professor mueller's view. i am open to the argument that some countries cannot handle it. the scars that are left in rumania or iraq by the secret police are huge things to overcome. the evidence does suggest that the past is not a great guide to the future when it comes to this question. i guess i am a jeffersonian. i will proclaim that. >> let's take your question. that will be the last one. you will have five minutes to go through
