First sentence: NEWTON'S name in the matriculation book of Cambridge University on 8 July 1661, together with those of sixteen other students recently admitted to Trinity College, bears witness to an event so obviously significant in his life (as it must have been for the other sixteen, and as similar events have been for countless young men through eight centuries of Western history) that one flirts with banality even to mention it.
