| | FAS Public Interest Report July/August 1994 |
 | | This newsletter is a contribution to the inevitable debate of 1995 about the atomic scientists; it focuses on the morality of a tiny segment of the atomic scientists, herein called the arrogators (of right or left) who misled their fellow citizens out of a felt obligation to arm America or prevent nuclear holocaust. |
 | | The original atomic scientists in Britain, Germany, the United States and the U.S.S.R. had a variety of live options to encourage or discourage their nation states and/or the nation states of others in the invention of weapons that could destroy cities and, perhaps, civilization. |
 | | The main body of American atomic scientists were, on the whole, under the command of General Leslie Groves and under the thrall of Robert Oppenheimer, both of whom wanted, in the end, to use the bomb. |
