Inevitable Americans.

There is strange and wonderful news coming out of the Soviet Union these days. Those Russian scientists report a woman-a Russian, of course-who can see, color and all, with her finger tips. Another band of Soviet scientists have revived a triton lizard that had been solidly frozen under twenty-five feet of Siberian ice for five thousand years-not far from the place where another Soviet citizen is about to celebrate his one-hundred-and-forty-sixth birthday. Everybody knows about the Soviet physician who grafted a new head on a dog. And about geneticist Lysenko, who changes a field of barley to wheat by sowing in a few seeds of Michurinism. Everyone in America seems to take these things seriously, for, after all, those amazing Russians can do anything.
