i believe Walter MAtthau-Grotech the professor..ahem, was straight as an arrow. He is pompous, accomplished, and arrogant, but he is also an esteemed member of the intelligence/bureuacrat community. Ms Wolfe seemed to be a party crasher, a social climber, who invited herself to the party, or at least ran in similar circles. She was awestruck by the older man was so impressed by his influence and stature that she wanted to initaite an affair. Just think of Paula Broadwell and Gen. Patreus from 2012
At any rate, the "I'm not your kind" declaration by Grotechele was his way of pointing out just how cheap and petty he figured her to be. -

Thought it was pretty weird scene at first. When the character became clearer later with the whole nuke 'em now that we have a chance -attitude I figured maybe he really just doesn't care.
Like some said already, I too thought the whole car scene was very out of place for '64. -

I'm going with Groeteschele being straight. He rejected the woman's advances because he was offended by her getting off on nuclear war.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
