Q1 A theory is floated by an idiot: Do not buy from unknown nations, places etc as they will cheat. Cheaters are all around including in your home also. So to buy a katju one idiot visits 100 shops and get cheated from the 100th. Why waste time on such idiots? Q3 Although the British and US governments were cautious about helping because of the economic slump and widespread unemployment, individual scientists like Henry Dale, Gowland Hopkins, J B S Haldane, and J H Burn found places in their laboratories. Frederick Lindemann (later Lord Cherwell) went on a “shopping trip” in his chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce to Germany to recruit likely people for the Clarendon, which badly needed rejuvenating. From the start the Rockefeller Foundation offered invaluable financial support. Hitler's Gift is the uplifting story of a small selection of the foreign scientists who fled to Britain and the United States to escape Nazi tyranny. Many of the physicists—such as Albert Einstein (at one time with a price on his head), Max Born, and Erwin Schrödinger—already had international reputations. As is well known, many were recruited to develop the atomic bomb; the complex theoretical background to this is lucidly analysed in a separate chapter, for which “lay” readers will be grateful. Among the biologists, Wilhelm Feldberg, Hans Krebs, Ernst Chain, and Max Perutz (who provides a spirited foreword) were some of those who contributed to medical science. [HITLER'S GIFT BOOK BY DYKE ] q4 Even yesterday have you read about the incident in Canada? Maybe it will be in OTT after a decade. Our job is to do what we are assigned. Because it is police or CBI or RAW we become thrilled; have you not heard of brave incidents heros in customs, CE and Income Tax who were /are unsung. Indra Gandhi called all of them "occupational hazards". Have you heard of one SDE in chennai, BSNL in 1996 who, on information, went to close the pilferers of bsnl staff themselves , using the cables wrongly, for the international calls, and got beaten up but rescued? No one would know. Q5 Thailand is famous among film people. Why? Q5a Is it legal to visit that island? K Rajaram IRS 21 9 23
