In
this lecture, Ray Monk, author of Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the
Center, Random House, 2013, will tell the story of J. Robert
Oppenheimer, the Institute's third Director (1947--66), in the context
of the momentous developments in which he played a leading part. It will
describe the community in which he was brought up, his development as a
physicist, his involvement in left-wing politics in the 1930s, and his
unlikely choice as director of the laboratory in Los Alamos that
produced the world's first atomic bomb. It will also describe his
attempts after the war to secure international control over atomic
energy, his opposition to the hydrogen bomb, and the security hearing of
1954 that stripped him of his security clearance. As the lecture will
show, however, by the time he died in 1967 his reputation—as a
scientist, a statesman, and a loyal U.S. citizen—had been truly
re-established.
