ELLIOTT, H(arry) Chandler

(1910-1978)

   Canadian-born US physician, university teacher of medicine and writer, in whose sf novel, Reprieve from Paradise (1955), Polynesians have established a worldwide culture after an atomic HOLOCAUST. Their civilization is described in sometimes amusing detail, though an enforced breeding plan soon sours the picture. The introduction of an Antarctic UTOPIA then complicates matters further.
