It is sad to think that Dr. von Neumann was only 53 years old when he died. Yet. in his tragically toobrief lifetime. he rendered service to the United States on a scale of incalculable value. This was not the land of his birth. but he was one of its most distinguished and priceless parts even before becoming a naturalized citizen in 1937. His AEC colleagues mourn his loss In a way that the whole Nation has reason to mourn his loss--as a human being full of personal charm. warmth. a sense of humor. and tremendous mental gifts. It probably will be a long time before we see his like again. [From the Washington Post and Times Herald of February 12. 1957]
