"Heroin junkie describes robbing guy coming out of bar near Harvard, going to Chinatown to buy heroin, shooting up with his friends. Heroin has been cut with Drano and the first shooter dies. They dump him in garbage can. Quite a section--I wouldn't be surprised nor would I argue if someone accused Foster of racism here, it's close--told in vernacular of junkie. The guy can write."
Solid opening 30 minutes (we're treating this like a mini-series). O's involvement with left-wing causes . . . rift with Einstein (O thinks of him as over-the-hill and Einstein knows it.) First splitting of atom. Lawrence Lab in Berkeley--Lawrence practical applied physics . . . not O's strength. Main actor is from Peaky Blinders.
