"In 1956 Good Housekeeping magazine ran an article on Klara von Neumann and her husband with the improbable title, “Married to a Man Who Believes the Mind Can Move the World.” One of the stranger examples of 1950s women’s magazine journalism, it is a dogged attempt to humanize a not entirely promising subject. “What’s it like to suspect your husband of being the smartest man on earth?” the article asks. “When Klara von Neumann, a slender brunette of Washington, D.C., glances at her husband, a plump, cheerful man who was born in Hungary fifty-two years ago, the thought sometimes occurs to her that she may be married to the best brain in the world.”"
