Last week friends told her they had heard snatches of the story-at a dinner in Virginia, at a Connecticut party, at a Texas air base. The details were coming...

But in the years following World War II, when the menace of the hydrogen bomb loomed large and black, the thoughts of many a scientist who had known Kapitsa harked back to the days of his early and significant experiments on the behavior of hydrogen.

Boring in with pencil poised, New York Post Gossipist Earl Wilson heard a New York neurologist ask Bulganin if it was true that psychiatrists are on call around the clock for all Russians.
