I actually met Oppenheimer.  I was giving a talk on parallel programming at Los
Alamos in the 80's, and he showed up to listen.  Talked with him for a good
while after the primary talk was over...  He walked with me thru the Los Alamos
museum that had interesting info about him, including letters from the president
of the US dictating the security requirements he had to live under to avoid (a)
letting secrets about the manhatten project leak out;  (b) him getting hurt or
killed by accident.

was most interesting...
