Looks like he won his Nobel prize back before they changed the requirements to simply being an idiot leftist.

He was present at the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico, where he lost a $5 bet it wouldn't explode.

He had a sense of humor or so it sounds.

The obit noted that he agitated for a lot of liberal causes, as did most physicists of his generation. If there is one single reason why the physics community is so much more liberal than the chemistry or even the biology communities, it can probably be summed up in one word: Hiroshima.
