Looking at the problem with a different perspective, Senate Republican Leader Knowland struck another note that would impress many readers of the Yalta papers. Said he: "If the disclosures dis courage two or three nations from thinking they can sit down behind closed doors -with no responsibility to their elected representatives and to the people-and proceed to parcel out nations and people without their consent, they will have served their purpose. Whether it be at Yalta. Potsdam or Geneva, a useful purpose will be served if every official who participates in negotiations realizes that he has an ultimate accounting...

She tells how one of his crucial experiments on slow neutrons was carried on in a fountain among unsuspecting gold fish. She giggles gently at his troubles with unruly shirtfronts. She pokes friendly fun at his brilliant friends (who called Fermi...
