Re: Madame Curie

In response to the mention of Madame Curie, Edgar Knowlton comments: " I am reminded of the film on the Curies with Greer Garson and Walter Pigeon. On their honeymoon voyage, Walter invited her into the bedroom, but she declined, with her profile set against the moon, as she said with determination: "I must discover the secret of radium" An extraordinary couple!".  RH: An extraordinary story, which demands a scholarly footnote. What is happening to history when a scholar like Edgar is thus impressed?
