From CHRIS LESURF
Having first agreed wholeheartedly with Michael Duff’s opinion that
‘Britain’s brain drain is not a myth’ (Talking Point, 29 September) I then
read Marcus Chown’s ‘Sacred words’ (his review of The Feynman Lectures in
Physics: 25th Anniversary Commemorative Issue), in the same issue. Also
feeling in tune with Chown, I began to wonder what would have happened if
Feynman had been born in Britain 25 years ago. Would we be celebrating his
achievements, not as a physicist, but as a bongo player?
