  • Abstract
    The paper relates a 1940 incident involving a security risk to the Watson Scientific Laboratory at Columbia University. The danger of compromise at this lab was very real with potentially far-reaching serious consequences; ironically, the danger perceived by officials was based on entirely erroneous conclusions.
