Russian women, she said, "age fast and die prematurely...
...likes to travel, and has returned several times to Russia to lecture, most recently in 1946. He was, he thinks, one of the last U.S. scientists to visit the Soviet Union. He still feels that men of science are the best hope for bringing understanding between nations. But trying to peddle that idea in the U.S.S.R., he says, was like "a voice crying in the wilderness...
