Description

A question posed by a charming Countess sets Philip Frobisher, a Harvard astronomer, on a quest to make a more important contribution to science and society. Anna Grad, a talented Harvard student, interns in Washington for a Senator known for his opposition to science and finds herself caught up in the intrigues of astro-politics playing out in Cambridge, Normandy, Washington, Prague and St. Petersburg. A light-hearted look at the goings-on at the frontiers of science, politics, and romance, described by an irreverent participant.
