The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe Senate is considering Lewis Strauss. Scientist David Hill is called to testify. He opens with courtesy: years of service, earnest, hardworking, intelligent. Then the knife: most scientists in the country would rather see Strauss completely out of government. A senator assumes the Oppenheimer security fight is the reason. Hill says no. It was personal vindictiveness. Isotopes to Norway, public humiliation, then the personnel security system used to destroy Oppenheimer's effectiveness. Watch a witness name a motive the room does not want to hear.
