Original caption: "THE AUTHOR is one of America's most honored physicists. Last year he not only shared a Nobel prize for his study of nuclear structure but also directed a study of civil defense that the National Academy of Sciences undertook for Assistant Secretary of Defense Stewart Pittman. Scores of authorties participated in that "Project Harbor" study at Woods Hole last summer. Professors Robert J. Hansen, '48, and Ithiel de Sola Pool, and many Alumni represented M.I.T. among them. Professor Wigner was greatly stimulated by members of the Harbor study and is particularly grateful to E. P. Blizard of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory for help in preparing this article.", Used in: Technology Review, June 1964, p21
