That fiction described that he tried to help South Korea's dictatorship develop nuclear weapons and intended to make some relation between his death and CIA. But rather he opposed vigorously the autocratic system of South Korea at that time and he canceled every program he designed for Korean graduate education about particle physics in opposition to that government.

Famous quotes containing the words controversy and/or death:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Sad. Nothing more than sad. Let’s not call it a tragedy; a broken heart is never a tragedy. Only untimely death is a tragedy.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
