Rudolf Peierls edit

  • ... that Rudolf Peierls was awarded the Medal of Freedom, but was later refused entry to the United States because he was suspected of being a spy? Source: "Peierls did not list this award in his Who's Who entry because of the withdrawal of his security clearance for a US Visa in 1951 (Bird of Passage 321)." [1]

  • Article is new enough (recent GA), long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and verified with reliable sources. QPQ is done. No copyvio detected. Good to go. Nice article! -Zanhe (talk) 01:33, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
