Jean Tatlock

 * ... that it is believed that Robert Oppenheimer named the Trinity nuclear test as a tribute to Jean Tatlock? Source: "One theory is that J. Robert Oppenheimer, the head of the U.S. government’s laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and the director of science for the Manhattan Project, which designed and built the bomb, chose the name as an allusion to the poetry of John Donne. Oppenheimer’s former mistress, Jean Tatlock, a student at the University of California, Berkeley, when he was a professor there, had introduced him to Donne’s work before she committed suicide, in early 1944."

I thought "is believed that" would be weasel-y enough. How about:
 * ALT1 ... that Jean Tatlock had a romantic relationship with Robert Oppenheimer? Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:59, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
 * That's quite factual but needs something more to make it effective IMO. How about the following expansion? Andrew D. (talk) 00:00, 27 January 2017 (UTC)


 * ALT1b ... that Jean Tatlock had a romantic relationship with Robert Oppenheimer, introducing him to poetry and politics?
