Targ was one of the first people to know that she would die quickly. Gradually, people around her came to accept this. Even those who had never met her became fairly sure something was up, because there were no more encouraging updates posted on the Web site that tracked her recovery.

Targ says that at the time, Robeson was far from alone in his thinking. Many people were frightened by rising fascism in Germany, Italy, Spain, and elsewhere, and saw hope in socialism and communism.

Addressing himself to “the power of the people” in an April 2003 email,Targ called for concerted opposition to “U.S. imperialism,” making it clear that he viewed the United States specifically, and capitalism more broadly, as the greatest threats to international security: “We need to clarify the connections between U.S. capitalism, global conquest, and visions of empire … [W]e need to discover where multinational corporations and international financiers stand, whether the oil and/or military industries are driving the doctrine of preemption, and which, if any, sectors of the ruling class regard unilateralism, globalism, and militarism as a threat to global trade, production, investment and speculation.”

Targ was exceedingly bright. By the time she entered Palo Alto High School, she'd already skipped two grades. At 12, she was helping a Stanford researcher stick electrodes into monkey brains to examine hemispheric specialization. That's ... when she conducted her first human experiment: demonstrating that left-handed people make more spelling errors than right-handed people. At 13, she tested crayfish feeding reflexes. In high school, she cofounded the debate team.

Targ: The idea of a non-local space is a hot issue in modern physics. From 1927 when Erwin Shrödinger first talked about entangled photons, until about 1970 when Freedman and Clauser demonstrated it, non-locality seemed principally like a crazy idea. It was one of many weird things in quantum mechanics. And then Freedman and Clauser in ‘70 demonstrated that it was true, that you could unmistakably measure it in the laboratory. So many people realized Einstein was wrong. Even though this looked like ‘a spooky connection in the distance’ it existed nonetheless.
