Associated Press reports on Arthur C Clarke’s recent 90th birthday

Science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke listed three wishes on his 90th birthday: for the world to embrace cleaner energy resources, for a lasting peace in his adopted home, Sri Lanka, and for evidence of extraterrestrial beings.

“I have always believed that we are not alone in this universe,” Clarke said in a speech to a small gathering of scientists, astronauts and government officials Sunday in Colombo where he lives.
