ROGER LEWIS: Were the 60s a swinging decade or the start of a decline? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In David Kynaston's telling, the past is like a gigantic flicker-book. Having examined newspaper reports, diaries, letters, media bulletins, and contemporary memoirs, plus heaps of other sources, he is able to tell us that in the period under review, the mid-Sixties, Petra on Blue Peter had puppies, John Prescott went to Hull University and was snubbed by Philip Larkin, Sooty had a girlfriend, Soo, but 'they had to keep their paws off each other', multi-flavoured Golden Wonder crisps came in, as

Perhaps the problem is that in physics, so much is theoretical, abstract, subject to equations and formulae scribbled on the blackboard. Nothing (literally) has solidity. Even an o
How my late father A. A. Gill's memoir saved my life... (opens the original)
