Scope and content
Attended a talk given by FH at the University of British Columbia on 15 Oct. 1970; it was 'the high point of [his] entire intellectual life'. Has never been able to agree with big-bang cosmologies, and has therefore been reading Astronomy and cosmology with enthusiasm, especially the last chapter, in which FH introduces 'the concept of positive, zero and negative masses'. Monetary inflation is 'eating this North American economy alive'.
