Sorry to mention the war

Article Abstract:

Recent controversy over very bland remarks made by UK Foreign Secretary Robin Cook about public attitudes towards Germany has highlighted a number of issues relating to government handling of media relations. It appears that journalists are prepared to turn even the most careful remarks by politicians into controversy, and this is why the government seeks to manage media relations very carefully. It works hard to attract publicity for minor initiatives, but usually does not make ministers available to comment at very short notice on sensitive issues.

Theodore Hall

Article Abstract:

Physicist and spy Theodore Hall showed a strong mathematical talent from an early age. He became a Harvard graduate at the age of only 18, and was immediately recruited for the Manhattan Project. He began working on the atomic bomb in mid-1944, and grew concerned about the consequences of a US monopoly on atomic weapons. He subsequently made contact with Soviet officials and passed on information. He moved into biophysics in the 1950s, and moved to the UK in 1962.
