...year, appears to have no qualms about speaking out for the rights of corporations. But, then again, he fiercely resists any interference with private rights, whether they belong to blacks, companies-or, for that matter, to Charles Morgan. He quit the A.C.L.U.in 1976 because of the director's objections to his public political comments, writing: "I do not admit the right of any bureaucracy to grant or deny me my rights as a citizen."

It is a question for philosophers and religionists, not for scientists." Adds Geoffrey Burbidge, director of Kitt Peak National Observatory: "Principles and concepts cannot be measured. A question like 'Who imposed the order?' is metaphysical." Still, virtually everyone -both scientists and laymen-is taken by the sheer unthinkable opacity of the creation and what preceded it.
