“I was a researcher from Australia, and I want to know what's going on.”
“You can't fake something if you don't believe it, if you don't believe that you're doing researching or teaching or doing interviews on something that you feel to be profound and life-changing.”
“The first test under Truman was the test of a device.”
“The people that were against the development of thermonuclear weapons knew that Eisenhower, because of his status, had the ability or the status to be able to say no to that.”
“That's where it gets very interesting because there apparently was another incident in nineteen sixty-four.”

“They control the board of directors of many of these corporations. They can influence the direction of that company and they can say, no, this technology is is too disruptive.”
