Whoa there. Let us get our referents untangled. Kevles is "she" and Storms is "Dr. Storms." (This reminds me of a Japanese sentence with no subject or pronouns, which makes it difficult to say who did what to whom, which -- I suppose, come to think of it -- would be handy for describing an orgy, but let's drop that train of thought before it even leaves the station.)
Perhaps it is time to remind Kevles, once again, of these inaccuracies, or otherwise demand that he back up these two claims that he appears to adamantly support.
I have reminded her several times in no uncertain terms. I copied my letters to the president of the university and to her department chair. The prez fobbed me off. There is no chance these people will reconsider.
