'THE LAST OF THE OLD MASTERS' OF PHYSICS
from The Los Angeles Times (Registration Required)
Hans Bethe, the nuclear physicist whose elegant calculations explained how
stars shine and laid the foundation for development of both the atomic and
hydrogen bombs, has died. He was 98.
Bethe, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967, died Sunday at his
home in Ithaca, N.Y., Cornell University announced Monday.
A reluctant but crucial participant in the World War II effort to develop
nuclear weapons, Bethe later became one of the country's most passionate and
persuasive proponents of disarmament. He argued that the use of such weapons
would cost not only countless lives, but "liberties and human values as
well."
