... points out that the Congress has been particularly unfortunate in attracting eccentrics and faddists to its side, while it has repelled great and rising statesmen like Mr. Rees. Omitting the Pioneer 's little joke about Mr. Rees who would be more in place in a broad farce or musical comedy at the Gaiety than in the House, there is truth in the Pioneer 's remarks.

Everything got quiet. And we were so excited, I felt my heart up here in my throat. And when he ...
... that of a distinguished scientist, Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal since 1995 and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, since 2004. He has published a book with the ominous title Our Final Century: Will Civilization Survive the Twenty-First Century? “The theme of this book is that humanity is more at risk than at any other phase in its history,” writes Rees. “The wider cosmos has a potential future... spurts of activity delay the sentence of a universe condemned to become a galactic graveyard.” “What happens in far-future eons may seem blazingly irrelevant to the practicalities of our lives,” finds Rees.
