...says Robertson, add a dimension. Take a deep breath and consider spheres instead of circles. In freshman solid geometry (which deals with ordinary "flat" space), a two-inch sphere has eight times the volume of a one-inch sphere. But if space is curved (a la Einstein), the two-inch sphere (curling in upon itself in space) will have less than eight times the volume of the one-inch sphere...
...longer a race (his nearest foe was some 40 yds. in the rear), but a battle against the stop watch. Dodds passed the three-quarter mark in 3:03.9, just about what he'd planned. Then, instead of running down, 29-year-old Dodds began to go even faster. His time for the Wanamaker Mile-4:05.3-broke his own world's indoor mile record by more than a second.

Instead of attacking such innocent clay-pigeons as the nobility or Oscar Wilde or Tennyson, Gilbert allows his tricky verses to bite into the touchy and important phases of modern life. The hypocrisy behind commercialism in modern government and behind sexual morality is hit hard in this work about a utopian isle that tries to become anglicized. The king sends his daughters to be schooled...
