  Jean Tatlock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tatlock is generally credited for introducing Oppenheimer to radical politics during the 1930s, and his association with her, and many of the friends he met through her, were later used as evidence against him during his 1954 security hearing.
In the spring of 1936, I had been introduced by friends to Jean Tatlock, the daughter of a noted professor of English at the university; and in the autumn, I began to court her, and we grew close to each other.
Tatlock also introduced Oppenheimer to the poetry of John Donne, and his naming of the first test of a nuclear weapon as "Trinity" is interpreted by many historians as a reference to Tatlock.

Many of those closest to him were card-carrying Communists, including his off-and-on lover Jean Tatlock, his younger brother Frank, and his wife Kitty Harrison.
(Half a year later, Tatlock was dead by her own hand, although some still speculate that she was murdered.) Then came truly devastating revelations of the “Chevalier affair.” In winter 1942, Oppenheimer’s friend Haakon Chevalier had approached him on behalf of another Communist about turning over secret information to the Soviets.
The “Chevalier affair,” the Tatlock tryst, and Oppenheimer’s old Leftist connections resurfaced and torpedoed his chances at swaying the panel.

Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin have uncovered a long-term love affair with Ruth Tolman, a clinical psychologist who was the wife of one of Oppenheimer's close colleagues.
Tatlock's remedy was membership in the Communist Party.
Oppenheimer contributed to the party and attended at least one meeting, but never became a member, a conclusion Bird and Sherwin reached after a thorough examination of Oppenheimer's F.B.I. files: ''Any attempt to label Robert Oppenheimer a Party member is a futile exercise -- as the F.B.I. learned to its frustration over many years.''

It also seems to me that, at times, in his evaluations of statements in such private papers as Chevalier's, Herken has not taken into account his sources' possible motivations.
Thus, in his narration of Oppenheimer's life at Berkeley during the 1930s, Herken strongly suggests that after meeting Jean Tatlock and Chevalier, Oppenheimer became a member of the Communist Party (CP).
But one must question the reliability of the most damning evidence--Chevalier's 1964 note attesting that Oppenheimer had been part of a secret communist cell.
