Worth mentioning the two just won the 2015 Turing Award:

I actually just recently spoke with Hellman for an interview. He's focusing on educating people about the risk of maintaining nuclear deterrents. Also has a new book out that might not be what you expect:

Is a recording or transcript of the interview available?

Thanks for sharing the Turing Award link; agreed it's noteworthy.

Random: I met Whit Diffie at my brother's wedding a couple years ago. He was charming.
