rabid1stRita Levi Montalcini, is 100 years old and still a sitting senator in Italy. She won the Nobel Prize For Medicine in 1986 and at her 100 year's young party recounted how the anti-Jewish laws of the 1930s under Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime forced her to quit university and do research in an improvised laboratory in her bedroom at home.
She said, if it hadn't been for Mussolini declaring her to be of an inferior race, she would have wasted time in university. Instead, she dedicated herself to neurology and the rest is Nobel Prize history, I suppose.
"Above all, don't fear difficult moments," she said. "The best comes from them."
Amen! My sistah!
