Time: The present.
The Reader (looking over the top of a morning paper): Here's something queer - a whole page taken with a new discovery in physics - "Eclipse Observations Confirm Einstein's Theory of Relativity." Anything about it in your paper?
The Author: Yes. Here's a cartoon on it by McCutcheon.
