...Brash Russell Birdwell, pressagent, bought a full-page ad in the Hollywood Reporter to clobber Britain's Socialist Prime Minister Clement Attlee in plain view of impressionable movie moguls. "He conies-this socialist of a beggar government . . . with an umbrella borrowed from Chamberlain to warn the President that we must withdraw from Korea-to hell with our brave kids . . . and to invite butchers of our wounded boys to seats at the U.N. . . .

Fred Hoyle, 22, and Raymond Arthur Lyttleton, 25, of St. John's College, earned their livings (as they still do) by teaching mathematics to Cambridge undergraduates. After hours they planned their campaigns to explain the universe-not just the stars and the galaxies, but the whole vast mechanism, compounded of space and time, of mass and energy, which produces the "objects" seen by telescopes, as well as that oddity, the earth, and its curious inhabitant...
