The whole crusade seemed to editors to be U.S. anti-Socialist propaganda or a moneymaking racket, or both. Sneered the Daily Mirror: "America occasionally tells her friends what to do. Tomorrow an American arrives in Britain to tell us what to think and what to believe. God's Own Country has always run a brisk export line in evangelists. They come in all shapes and sizes . . .

A bigger Hale-type telescope would suffer even more from sky shine...

Indeed, daVinei's recommendation that the painter's job is to hold the mirror up to nature--to create a visual illusion of reality--led directly to the later stultification of European...
