"""In December, Heisenberg lectured in neutral Switzerland. The United States Office of Strategic Services sent former major league baseball catcher and OSS agent Moe Berg to attend the lecture carrying a pistol, with orders to shoot Heisenberg if his lecture indicated that Germany was close to completing an atomic bomb. Heisenberg did not give such an indication, so Berg decided not to shoot him, a decision Berg later described as his own "uncertainty principle"."""

I never took him seriously, says Allen. He wasn’t a nice man. He was a professional liar, a layabout who lived on his brother, a lecher, a charlatan. Just why the OSS took him I can’t see. He didn’t speak any foreign language well enough to be a spy and he was rather the parody of a spy. Berg was a self-invented mystery, a charming chap, but an outright fraud. The mystery is that there is no mystery.
