Anderson did, however, accept a he continued to advise the government informally on atomic matters. He died age 76 in 1958. So then, shortly before his death, anderson fell to reminiscing about the war with j. Robert oppenheimer. Of hours, the director of the manhattan project, los alamos bomb lab. Anderson, a really sweet guy, oppenheimer recalled, had never, and im still quoting oppenheimer, had never been reconciled to the fact that bores counsel had not been followed by churchill or roosevelt in 1944.
