"Many people who know P. Leonardo Mascheroni
describe him as a maverick and a technology
zealot. Now, the Justice Department will try to
prove that he is dangerous, too a man willing
to sell atomic secrets in exchange for a chance to realize his dream.
Dr. Mascheroni, 75, is a nuclear scientist who
has spent the 22 years since he left the Los
Alamos National Laboratorytrying to sell
Congress, the scientific community, journalists
anyone who would listen, really, including this
reporter on his plan to build a giant laser for
the achievement of nuclear fusion. . . ."
