He now informed the director of Los Alamos that he would not work on the superbomb. He also wrote an article for \booktitle{Scientific American} deploring the secrecy of the discussion leading up to the decision to build it and arguing that the H-bomb was both immoral and unnecessary. Bethe's article was published in April 1950; it would have appeared earlier except that the AEC, fearing a breach of secrecy, confiscated the printing plates.''", }
