		Rhinehart, whose real name is George Cockcroft, made his reputation with the cultish Seventies book The Dice Man, in which the eponymous hero, a psychiatrist, gives over all his decision making to the roll of a die, providing himself with half a dozen potential alternatives for every step he takes through life.
		At the time, Cockcroft was studying and teaching psychology, and one summer he was leading a seminar on freedom - Nietzsche and Sartre - and he asked his class at one point whether perhaps the ultimate freedom was not to 'get away from habit and causality and make all your decisions by casting dice'.
		Cockcroft says he no longer has quite the messianic faith of Luke that dicing is the key to fulfilment, but he maintains the more modest position that using dice occasionally 'would have some beneficial effect for everyone.

	Cecil Powell - Biography
		His grandfather, George Bisacre, had established a private school in the nearby town of Southborough and his family ties and influences therefore tended to encourage a regard for the value both of learning and the practical arts.
		In 1938, he undertook experiments in cosmic radiation and employed methods of directly recording the tracks of the particles in photographic emulsions and, when the Cockcroft machine came into operation, he employed similar methods for determining the energy of neutrons, that is, by observing the tracks of the recoiling protons.
		The length of the track of a charged particle in the emulsion was found to give an accurate measure of its range and the great advantages of this method for experiments in nuclear physics were soon clearly established.
