At various times since then, he has flown into snits over Richard Rodgers, Arthur Miller, Barry Goldwater, Mayor Lindsay, the New York Telephone Co., the New York City Transit Authority, and the Republican Party (when accused of calling Henry Cabot Lodge "a broken-down Republican," he denied indignantly that he had used "a phrase so redundant").

By decoding some of their signals that have been so long in transit, the Dutch-born astronomer has upset the familar pre-quasar universe of stars and galaxies. He has rocked the worlds of astronomy, physics and philosophy. He has undermined established theories and stimulated fantastic new ones, provoked scientists into bitter controversies and brilliant hypotheses. The cosmic questions that Schmidt's observations...
