Dr. Lev D. Landau, the Soviet Jewish scientist who was awarded the 1962 Nobel prize in physics while he lay in his hospital bed in Moscow after a near fatal traffic accident, has been released from the hospital after what was described as a “miraculous” recovery from injuries suffered in the accident, it was reported here today from Moscow. The report said he had been pronounced “clinically dead” four times before his recovery. The 56-year-old physicist is expected to return to work.
