	Frank Oppenheimer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frank Friedman Oppenheimer (August 14, 1912 ;– February 3, 1985) was an American physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project, was a target of McCarthyism, and was later the founder of the Exploratorium in San Francisco.
		Frank and Jackie eventually sold one of the Van Gogh paintings he had inherited from his father, and with the money bought land in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and started life over again as a cattle farmer.
		In 1965, Frank was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to study the history of physics and conduct bubble chamber research at University College, London, where he was exposed to European science museums for the first time.

	Postwar Activities - Robert Oppenheimer
		Oppenheimers brother, Frank Oppenheimer, was forced to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he admitted that he had been a member of the Communist Party in the 1930s, but he refused to name other members.
		Frank was subsequently fired from his university position, could not find work in physics, and became instead a cattle rancher in Colorado., testified against Oppenheimer at his security hearing in 1954.

	Frank Theatre
		Frank Theatre's premiere of Carson Kreitzer's The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer is a winding, poetic meditation on passion, morality, science, betrayal, and lots of other decidedly un-atomic concepts.
		Oppenheimer's communist associations and objections to the development of the hydrogen bomb made him scholar non grata in the fllisting '50s, and we see him constantly questioning the morality of his actions.
		Gwendolyn Schwinke is less satisfactory as Oppenheimer's former lover, partly because of her phlegmatic performance and partly because Kreitzer hasn't provided sufficient reason for the character to be on stage in the first place.

	Robert Oppenheimer
		Thus it was Oppenheimer who, based on his past sojourns there, settled on New Mexico, scouting out and eventually selecting the Los Alamos Ranch School as the new base of operations.
		Despite the over-awing success of the project, Oppenheimer's initial jubilation faded to depression as reports began trickling in as to the numbers of the dead and maimed.
		During hearings Oppenheimer’s earlier leftist/Communist sympathies were trotted out and Los Alamos alum Edward Teller insinuated that Oppenheimer’s opposition to research on the more powerful H-bomb was so "confusing" (given his work on the A bomb) that his loyalties could not be trusted.

		Oppenheimer stated in his personnel security questionnaire, which he executed on April 28, 1942, for the purpose of obtaining a clearance for work on the atomic program, that he had joined the "American Committee for Democratic Intellectual Freedom" in 1937 and was still a member on the date the PSQ was executed.

		Oppenheimer testified that the problem which was bothering Chevalier and his wife was that Chevalier was employed as a translator for UNESCO, and he understood that if he continued this work as an American citizen, he would have to be cleared after investigation, and he was doubtful as to whether he would be cleared.

		Oppenheimer recovered, transferred to the University of Göttingen in Germany, and quickly became a star in the new and burgeoning field of quantum mechanics.
		Oppenheimer himself became an active member of the CP-dominated teachers' union, a signer of innumerable Communist petitions, and a generous contributor to Communist causes, funneled through Isaac "Pop" Folkoff, a party functionary with ties to Soviet intelligence.
		By 1953, Oppenheimer's role on the AEC was much diminished, but Strauss, who had suffered a variety of insults and public humiliations from the arrogant Oppenheimer in the past, was determined to extract his revenge.

	J. Robert Oppenheimer Centennial - Exhibit
		It is sometimes said that one's greatest strengths can also be one's greatest weaknesses, and in Oppenheimer's life this manifested itself quite literally: the personableness and diverse interests which allowed him to expertly run Los Alamos were part of the same character which led to the revocation of his security clearance.
		It is indicative of the changing of hands of the bomb, moving from the responsibility of intellectual eclectics like Oppenheimer into the protocols of military rank and policy.
		Oppenheimer represents many things, but it is the common humanity present in his science, his teaching, his successes, and his failures which makes him a complex and rich historical character.

		Oppenheimer's wife, Kitty, mother of these small children, did not visit or call Rochester; she limited her care and time to Robert and bottle on bottle of whiskey.
		Oppenheimer's wartime affair with Ruth Tolman, his illicit evening with Jean Talock while married to Kitty, his contributions of money to communist causes, and his disinclination to bring his talent to bear in developing the hydrogen bomb despite Stalin's atomic capability, condemned Oppenheimer in Strauss' mind.
		Oppenheimer, in several public statements, contended the atomic bomb was well suited for military targets, but the hydrogen bomb could only be used effectively against larger civilian targets: use of the hydrogen bomb, Oppenheimer contended, would be an act of genocide.

		Oppenheimer had German roots, and it was clear to him that Hitler was no friend of the German Jews.
		Soon after meeting Oppenheimer, she got a divorce, and the two were married on November 1, 1940.
		In later years, Oppenheimer dismissed his flirtation with communism as just that–a boyish flirtation attributed to the foolishness of youth, a necessary stage in growing up, one which he passed through and left behind forever by the beginning of World War II.

		And yet, it was the irony of Robert Oppenheimer's odyssey that a life devoted to social justice, rationality and science would become a metaphor for mass death beneath a mushroom cloud.

		The participants describe a venture and a leader (i.e., Oppenheimer) so caught up in the task at hand that only after the fact did the consequences of their work come to the fore.
		Oppenheimer certainly didn't—as one of his colleagues quotes him here: "The physicists have known sin, and this is a knowledge they cannot lose." It's hard to imagine the connection for these men between their laboratory work, their esprit de corps in New Mexico, and the 100,000 dead in and around Hiroshima.
		For better or worse, we all live with the legacy of Oppenheimer, and this documentary is a sharp look at the man and his accomplishments from some of those who knew him best.
