The Squint taking a skewered look Painting by Peter Cheevers
Father of the Atomic Bomb and his poisoned apple. Oppenheimer, the father of the Atomic Bomb while at College was miserable,near collapse, bedevilled by sexual frustration and academic anxieties. He felt he lacked the practical skills needed for experimental physics, which included everything from carpentry to glassblowing to calculation. At his wits’ end, he left a poisoned apple on Blackett’s (his Professor's desk). What could have been a world chaning incident turned out to be a narrow escape due to his father, who in town on a visit, worked out a deal with the dean. So the future father of the atomic bomb insted of being sent to prison for attempted murder, was, in the qunitessentially American way, you guessed it - sent to an analyst. Not surpisingly after the discovery of the Atomic Bomb, Oppenheimer was always regarded as having a tear-stained countenance.
