Richard Rhodes Quote
He chose not to work through the limited official channels that the Army and the OSRD had devised to constrict the flow of information. I wanted to let Oppenheimer know what we were doing. Someone in the Bureau of Ships knew one of the people in the [Navy] Bureau of Ordnance who was going out to Los Alamos. I remember that I met the man at the old Warner Theater here in Washington, up in the balcony—real cloak and dagger stuff.
