Why not just call the story “Return of superstring” or something else a
little less sensationalist? It was almost embarrassing to be seen reading a
magazine professing to have the theory of everything. I felt as if I had bought
one of those UFO mags. In fact, it was so embarrassing I had to hide it inside
my copy of Penthouse.

What was inside was of course as brilliant as ever.
