Opera in four acts Music by Verdi Libretto by TEMISTOCLE SOLERA (sung in Italian)
(gramophone records)
' Verdi's wild oats ' is not a bad description. Intended to follow up the dizzy success of Nabucco. 1 Lombardi is designed as a primitive epic with a dramatic action which ranges from Milan to Antioch and Jerusalem. It contains scenes and situations of every kind and there are large parts for chorus and stage band. The plot concerns the love of a Christian maid for a Moslem prince and the healing of fraternal strife through devotion to a common cause.

Radical Scientists in the 19305 compiled by Gary Werskey
The origins of the current debate over the function of science in society, its control and its freedom, are to be found in part in the radical science movement in Britain in the 1930s. J. B. S. Haldane and J. D. Bernal , both marxist scientists, were a nucleus for a strongly progressive science movement. Gary Werskey , a science historian specialising in the period, traces the origins, the growth and the eventual fading of the progressive urge in science. Contributors include:
SIR ERIC ASHBY , JOHN R. BAKER J. G. CROWTHER , MAURICE DOBB BENJAMIN FARRINGTON
JOHN MADDOX , C. H. WADDINGTON SIR SOLLY ZUCKERMAN
