The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLewis Strauss walks Oppenheimer across the Institute for Advanced Study like a realtor with a security clearance. He corrects the pronunciation of his own name, points at a house that comes with the job, and jokes about the commute. Einstein is out on the lawn. Oppenheimer already knows him, says something private, and the old man walks away upset. Strauss still wants him as director: a haven for independent minds, he says. The pitch is warmth. The subtext is control.
