The Bohr-Heisenberg Meeting, 2002 February 11.
Essay on the meeting between Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in Copenhagen in September 1941. Seitz recalls Heisenberg's background and achievements prior to the war, and speculates on the probable content of the talk between the two, and the possible rationale behind Heisenberg's actions and motivations during and after the war.
