After help creating the atomic bomb with the Manhattan Project he was banned from the U.S. Government during the McCarthy Trials. He opposed the idea of stockpiling nuclear weapons and was deemed a security risk. Oppenheimer’s life reveals the conflict between war, science and how politics collided in the 1940’s through the 1960’s. His case became a cause celebre in the world of science because of its implications concerning political and moral issues relating to the role of scientists in government.</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.freeessays.cc/db/41/skx333.shtml" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.freeessays.cc/db/41/skx333.sh">http://www.freeessays.cc/db/41/skx333.shtml</A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Stalin's Trials</B></div> <div> Purges and mass murders<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <div> Stalin consolidated his power base with the Great Purges against his political and ideological opponents, most notably the old cadres and the rank and file of the Bolshevik Party. Measures used against them ranged from imprisonment in work camps (Gulags) to assassination (such as that of Leon Trotsky and Sergei Kirov). Several show trials were held in Moscow, to serve as examples for the trials that local courts were expected to carry out elsewere in the country. There were four key trials from 1936 to 1938, The Trial of the Sixteen was the first (December 1936); then the Trial of the Seventeen (January 1937); then the trial of Red Army generals, including Marshal Tukhachevsky (June 1937); and finally the Trial of the Twenty One (including Bukharin) in March 1938. </div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/stalin.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biograp">http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/stalin.html</A></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" >http://art-bin.com/art/amosc_preeng.html</FONT> <I>("And They All Confessed....")</I></div> <div> <A HREF="http://static.highbeam.com/m/midstream/july012001/stalinssecretpogromthepostwarinquisitionofthejewis/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://static.highbeam.com/m/midstream/j">http://static.highbeam.com/m/midstream/july012001/stalinssecretpogromthepostwarinquisitionofthejewis/</A></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Danny McNamee Trial</B></div> <div> <A HREF="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rapporteur/fair.html" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages">http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/rapporteur/fair.html</A></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Dreyfus Affair</B></div> <div> Forged 'evidence' must break a servant of the French State.</div> <div> Author Emile Zola article <I>"J'accuse"</I> is based on the what happened to Alfred Dreyfus. </div> <div> As as a result Emile Zola must flee the country to escape imprisonment.</div> <div> Only due to public outcry and the work of ardent advocators of justice and liberty, the 'omnipotent' State is forced to rehabilitate Alfred Dreyfus after 12 years of imprisonment and misery.
