Weiskopf on size of mountains?



I recall having read many years ago an article which I think was
written by Victor Weiskopf in "Science" on why things are the
size they are. The article would have appeared after 1960 but
was at least 12 years ago.

Humans couldn't be 10 times taller or ten times shorter;
mountains couldn't be ten times their height, etc.

I have tried searching JSTOR without success.

I remember copying the article and putting it in a "safe place"
which, after several moves, I cannot locate.

I would appreciate information on the location of such an
article. [Not my "safe place: that's asking too much! ;-) ]
