Meat in the Soup. Similar evidence that religion in Russia is alive is provided by one of the latest Soviet novels to reach the West (via an Italian translation).

Purcell, professor of Physics, is teaching half of Nat Sci 2, and George Wald, professor of Bio-chemistry, will teach a lower level course next year. Nevertheless, it is clear that prominent scientists can give time...
