...astronomers have announced the discovery of two enormous extragalactic black holes in as many weeks—and conventional theory says the objects shouldn’t even exist. The most recent discovery, an object called IC 10 X-1, was found by a team led by Andrea H. Prestwich, a Harvard astronomer. The object, announced in a paper released last week, has not been identified with absolute certainty as a black hole.

The bobbie scowled and said: "Well, I should'a thought they'd let an old man like you get off a bit earlier than this." But to Charles Prestwich Scott work was life. He became the Guardian's editor at 26. He set out to make it one of the world's great newspapers. He succeeded at no expense to his Liberal views or any cause he thought right...
