Scope and content
Congratulating FH on receiving the Kalinga prize, on his success in popularizing science, and on his continuing scientific productivity. With two newspaper cuttings attached. The first from India News, "Renowned astrophysicist Fred Hoyle to visit India". The second from an unknown source, reporting on minor party candidates in the presidential election; the paragraph about Kirby J. Hensley, a minister from Modesto Calif., circled for FH's attention because Hensley's Universal party includes civil treatment for beings from other worlds who may visit this planet in its manifesto.
