Read a newspaper report of 'FH's recent address to London's Royal Institute [sic]', in which he rejected both the Neo-Darwinist and Theistic positions, proposing that 'life on this planet arose from intelligent design from some other part of the universe'. Is 'very excited' by the hypothesis, and asks for 'an account' of FH's present position.
