United States Edges Soviet Union in Nuclear Research Says East German Scientist
East German scientist Dr Heinz Barwich told Senate Judiciary Committee that the United States holds a substantial edge in nuclear research, while noting limited Soviet progress.

The analysis suggests a nuclear lead for the United States and a continuing space race between superpowers, with cautious optimism about launch scheduling.
