...were going to be infinitely happy,” Wood said. “You couldn’t be anything but happy when you were with Stine.”Many of Rossel’s colleagues also praised her cheerfulness and sense of humor. Fellow graduate student Zinovi Matskevich, who shared an office with Rossel and conducted fieldwork with her in the country of Georgia years before she attended Harvard, said that Rossel brought joy to all who knew her. “She created festivals from the most boring tasks,” he said.Matskevich recalled Rossel...
...Port Arthur was cut off; and the proud Russian ships in the harbor were immobilized by the prowling warships of Japan's Admiral Togo. At that point in June 1904, Czar Nicholas II decided on a last, desperate gamble to relieve the Russian forces; he ordered Vice Admiral Zinovi Petrovitch Rozhestvensky to sail four brand-new Suvoroff battleships at the head of a task force of some 40 ships from their Baltic home ports to the Sea of Japan, by way of the Cape of Good Hope.
