It's weird, I knew she won in 57 but googling her name they list 4 prizes including the Wolfe prize in 78 but not the Nobel. Bit of bias going there?

But another female winner, Barbara McClintock Nobel prize for medicine, 1983

Americans don't seem to be doing THAT badly in science....

Like he would not have been able to re-write those papers. Kind of like J.S. Bach at the age of 14 told he could not take out the music he wished to study so he just used his photographic memory to write out the pieces he wanted and later shown to have missed only 3 or 4 notes in the entire manuscript.

That was a disgusting era in US politics, folk musicians were caught up in that blacklist scandal also, my favorite group when I was 14 was the Weavers, who sang protest songs way before Dylan and company, in the 1940's and 50's and I came across them as a HS student around 1955 or so and instantly loved their music only to have it snatched from me by the blacklists. They had 2 #1 hits in 1950 but the blacklists stopped all that.
That is the way of US government, just like now with Trump silencing any critique of him by his own party by brainwashing his base and thus brainwashing republican congressmen into silence no matter what his latest BS policy is, like his recent tweet saying Sessions 'should' stop the Mueller probe NOW. Clear obstruction of justice but his repub brainwashed buddies say ZERO on it.

A horrible episode in US history, now being repeated in the incarceration of infants, still over 500 left to find parents or relatives. Another disgusting episode, a real stain on our government and the brainwashed trumpites who think it ok.
