Richard Rhodes Quote
During the same period Szilard wrote Michael Polanyi he would stay in England until one year before the war, at which time I would shift my residence to New York City.896 The letter provoked comment, Szilard enjoyed recalling; it was very funny, because how can anyone say what he will do one year before the war? As it turned out, his prognostication was off by only four months: he arrived in the United States on January 2, 1938.
