Reading Gamow's account of the Soviet persecution leaves me with
a dual sense: one of horror at the state intervention, trial, and
penalties, along with a farcical sense -- the jury which judged
the scientists were the machine-shop workers of the institute!
(A bit reminiscent of the anti-relativists making judgments on
this group.)
