After his trip around the world Eberhart came to Harvard in 1932, which he described earlier as "a real letdown. They were only interested in mechanics.

What with Burgess and Maclean, Gordon Lonsdale and George Blake, Klaus Fuchs and Alan Nunn May, Britain's postwar years have often seemed to be a nonstop series of spy scandals.
