Baade, born and raised in Germany, had lost his U. S. citizenship papers, and found himself classed an enemy alien. Barred from security clearance, he was left alone with the 100-inch telescope. As if in an astronomer's fantasy, he watched from Mt. Wilson as the lights of Los Angeles disappeared into wartime blackout.
