Distant radio telescopes will bombard the moon with radar waves so that observers...

As the only foreign press photographer in Russia when Hitler attacked, she dodged wardens and bombers to shoot the nightly air raids on Moscow. Her ship was torpedoed out from under her in the invasion of Africa; she was among the first correspondents to photograph Buchenwald; she was the last to interview Gandhi, hours before his assassination.
