Edward Teller
One of the men responsible for the Atomic Bomb, and the father of the
hydrogen bomb, the fusion or "superbomb" as he called it. Teller has tirelessly
advocated the development of a particle beam weapon, and in fact it is now
possible to win the Edward Teller Medal if you exhibit pioneering
"research and leadership in the use of laser and ion particle beams". Teller
bears a suspicious resemblance to the lead character in Stanley Kubrik's
Dr. Strangelove. But if you ask about this resemblance, he will
throw you out of his office.
