Researcher
uncovers truth behind wartime security slur
Nature, January 23 – Scripps
Institution of Oceanography researcher Walter
Munk recently published an account of events surrounding
his experiences about the allegations of Nazi sympathies that
prompted the US government to strip him of his security clearance
six decades ago. Munk won back his military
security clearance soon after it was pulled with help from leading
scientists who wrote to the government. UCSD
history professor Naomi Oreskes also wrote
about the affair.

from the beaches last month. Much of that sand appears to have
