Description: Scope and content: This is a cross-section sketch of an atomic bomb produced by David Greenglass, a defendant in this espionage case. General notes: Assistant Prosecutor Roy Cohn moved to introduce David Greenglass's cross-section sketch of the atomic bomb into evidence. Defense Attorney Emanual Bloch asked to have the sketch impounded "so that it remains secret from the Court, the jury, and counsel." As a result of this controversial tactic, the sketch remained sealed until lawyers Marshall Perlin and William Kuntsler obtained its release in 1966.
