Regarding the WWII Meeting of Bohr & Heisenberg

The conclusion is that Heisenberg revealed to Bohr the existance of a Nazi atomic program in an attempt to obtain assistance from Bohr. The Times of London article is here (long registration process required)" The play "Copenhagen" was based on a fictionalization of this meeting, it was much better than "Proof", I assure you.

    It is always the same thing... each day we are being more and more controlled. I would like
    to read the article, but unfortunately I can't - registration required, you know...
    Now I am in doubt. What is the difference if my
    name appears in another big corporate database,
    anyway? The government, that is the one thing I don't trust have all this information...

    Dawn...
