     WEISSKOPF, pp. Ix - xv: 'V.F. Weisskopf is a great example of the combination of knowledge and compassion. All his life he sought and contributed to knowledge, and all his life he has shown compassion. When in the Fifties knowledge alone became supreme and any possible application of scientific knowledge to weapon technology had to be pursued regardless of the consequences for the human family, WEISSKOPF turned to compassion. In this period, when even those of us who disagreed with the popular tendency continued to work on national defense problems while at the same time trying to influence the policy of the US in what we considered a direction of sanity, Weisskopf appreciated those endeavours but did not join them.

The problem has bee stated for the first time in most explicit fashion by the celebrated mathematician Norbert Wiener. He had been asked not long after the end of the war on behalf of the research department of an aircraft-building firm, which also produced long-range guided missiles, whether he would let the firm have a copy of a report he had written during the war at the request of a certain military authority. Wiener's reply included this passage.
