This session focused on the continuing debate among scholars and the public over the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan. Although scientists were essential to producing the bombs, they were marginalized in the decision-making process. Despite this, some believe scientists should be held morally responsible. To what extent should scientists generally be held accountable for their inventions?

Richard Lee Rhodes (born July 4, 1937) is an American journalist, historian, and author of both fiction and non-fiction (which he prefers to call "verity"), including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Making of the Atomic Bomb (1986), and most recently, The Twilight of the Bombs (2010). He has been awarded grants from the Ford Foundation, the Guggenheim Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation among others. He is an affiliate of the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. He also frequently gives lectures and talks on a broad range of subjects to various audiences, including testifying before the U.S. Senate on nuclear energy.
Richard Rhodes was born in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1937. Following his mother's suicide on July 25, 1938, Rhodes, along with his older (by a year and a half) brother Stanley, was raised in and around Kansas City, Missouri, by his father, a railroad boilermaker with a third-grade education. When Rhodes was ten their father remarried a woman who starved, exploited, and abused the children. Stan, age 13, standing 5’ 4” and weighing an emaciated 98 pounds, saved both boys by walking into a police station and reporting to the authorities the conditions under which they lived. (For these details and others see Rhodes’ memoir A Hole in the World.) The boys were sent to the Andrew Drumm Institute, an institution for boys founded in 1928 in Independence, Missouri. The admission of the brothers was something of an anomaly as the institution was designed for orphaned or indigent boys and they fit neither category. The Drumm Institute is still in operation today, and now accepts both boys and girls. Rhodes became a member of the board of trustees in 1991.

Famous quotes by Richard Rhodes:
"That's the thing that makes it unique. For example, in the field events like the pole vault, there won't be an individual champion like in other meets. It will be based on the combined performance of the team members."
"When I heard what had transpired, I was deeply saddened. I resigned in support of Mrs. Wheatley because I know she has given unselfishly of her talent to this community."
"I think Hasegawa's work is the best thing to come along in a long time as far as bringing out new information. His information is new, and really as far as I can see, is definitive. He looked at the records of the Russian government, the Japanese government and the American government."
"The development of the first atomic bomb is the great tragic epic of the 20th century, an operatic story. The emotional power of music can extract the richness of this almost mythological narrative, the Wagnerian mystery."
"I have 38 years of public service, ... And I believe that's what I have to offer."
"[Of course, nobody is expecting original scholarship onstage. That isn't why Doctor Atomic has attracted intense interest among historians, scientists, and opera fans.] The development of the first atomic bomb is the great tragic epic of the 20th century, an operatic story, ... The emotional power of music can extract the richness of this almost mythological narrative, the Wagnerian mystery."
"[Some Washington bureaucrats see the project as a waste of money in times of severely stretched public funds. But] whenever the US project was on the verge of failing, Hitler and his war machine came to the rescue, ... The Making of the Atomic Bomb."
