i have that wrote in there about los alamos and then i crossed it out. i'm glad you brought it up. so i guess two quick thoughts after hearing the talk. one is i want to throw-in a word for general groves. one of the things i did is read a book by general groves. i think it's groves himself not norris -- it was really good. and it was hundreds and hundreds of pages detailing the effort to -- you know the whole manhattan project. and as usual when i get a book, i scan through and look for oppenheimer and say where is my grandfather? and i think it was mentioned once or twice. and you really got -- you got a scope of how big a project it was. it was enormous. >> are you saying that groves didn't think that oppenheimer was the indispensable man? >> i submit that you to yes. so i want to put -- and also my dad, he is not liberal with things to say. he has really nice things to say about groves. his eyes and his smile and he has really warm words about general groves which i was impressed with. that's one of the things. but keeping this debate going, how about science as the independenc

on the train it went out to los alamos. somebody just carrying it normally and likewise small amounts of plutonium were shipped up to chicago where they could characterize it and out to los alamos where they could learn how to build a bomb using plutonium plutonium. so everything was coming in, train loads and train loads but nothing as far as anybody could tell was going out. but it was a very very open secret undertaking. and no one knew what was going on except the manager until the bombs were actually dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki in japan in august of 1945. it was at that point that the local population here and the workers who had worked at y-12 and k-25 and so on actually learned that they had been producing an atomic weapon. and they went wild. there were dances in the streets and parties and everything and you can still see people in the streets holding up newspapers that says what -- you know we produced a bomb and the war was over and so on. here at oak ridge national laboratory or clinton laboratory as it wa

david was a communist and was a communist at the time that he was at los alamos. i had lost my communist leanings. as you may know, the soviet union was the first place that was very sympathetically by new york jews. anti-semitism played a major role in the immigration of jews to america from russia. when the revolution occurred in the soviet union jews were very sympathetic to the revolution because it was felt that the revolution was going to ban anti-semitism. so anti-semitism was a motivation that caused many new york jews to be sympathetic to the soviet union. this is a historic background that was very jewish in his culture behavior. in the development of the politics of the new york community, every once in awhile something would happen that would cause people who believed in the communism. the soviet union did a lot of pretty horrible things. stalin murdered many more people even than hitler did. he eventually became anti-se mettic. few jews e remained communists by 1940s except for what you might call the true believers. a true believer really believes an

. >> why don't we infight the people who knew four of the five at los alamos and george covall, mostly at dayton, i guess but also at oak ridge, invited robert f. norris whose book is a definitive biography of general leslie groves and we have copies of it out there for you. he'll talk about how groves took the -- made basically an intelligence revolution in taking security measures to new heights. and yet how the project had these spice that were instrumental in giving kirchitof and the soviets the information they needed to advance their work on the atomic. bomb. so we have a couple of eye witnesses who will tell you what it was like to work with these spies. and stan who will set the stage for all the precautions that the government took to prevent such things. >> thank you, cindy. can you hear me? is this microphone on? way in the back? well, i could talk about all the
