What a marvelous century it was, the 20th Century. 

Some wanted desperately to put a man on the moon. 

Others wanted equally fervently to put a boy on the throne. 

Well, as UFO watchers would like to believe - fact IS stranger than fiction. It has just been revealed to this investigator of uncommon events that it IS TRUE. Osamu Tezuka's dream has finally been made into a living breathing reality. There was talk years ago that biologists at the University of Hiroshima had successfully cloned a cow, not Polly but Pekochan. Seven stomachs make cow-cloning harder than human-cloning so work went on, apparently so far unsuccessfully. 

However at rival Yamaguchi University, slaving for decades in virtual anonymity, researchers finally managed to perfect the feat of robotic engineering remarkably similar to Osamu Tezuka's beloved story from the 1950s manga called Tetsuwan Atom, or Astro-Boy to Western audiences. They have done a magnificent job, the boyish features and the stern determination to fight evil shines brightly. What a triumph.
