First Line: Hm... Szilard says here that with all I know...
Synopsis: At the height of McCarthyism, Oppenheimer is charged as a security risk. In government hearings he reviews his past Communist associations, which were well-known and mostly ended when he headed the Manhattan Project, but confesses that he lied about certain facts. Bethe, Rabi, and Fermi support him. Groves defends Oppenheimer's loyalty, but concedes that he would not be security cleared under 1954 standards. Teller concedes Oppy's loyalty, but considers him a security risk because he is not enthusiastic about the hydrogen bomb. Oppenheimer's security clearance is withdrawn.

Kidded that God already knows the facts, Szilard replies, "Maybe... but not this version."
