Hal Clement
Harry Clement Stubbs (May 30, 1922 – October 29, 2003) better known by the pen name Hal Clement, was an American science fiction writer and a leader of the hard science fiction subgenre. He also painted astronomically oriented artworks under the name George Richard.
In 1998 Clement was inducted by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame and named the 17th SFWA Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (presented in 1999).
Biography
Stubbs was born in Somerville, Massachusetts and died in Milton, Massachusetts.
He went to Harvard, graduating with a B.S. in astronomy in 1943. While there he wrote his first published story, "Proof", which appeared in the June 1942 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, edited by John W. Campbell; three more appeared in later 1942 numbers. His further educational background includes an M.Ed. (Boston University 1946) and M.S. in chemistry (Simmons College 1963).
During World War II Clement was a pilot and copilot of a B-24 Liberator and flew 35 combat missions over Europe with the 68th Bomb Squadron, 44th Bomb Group, based in England with 8th Air Force. After the war, he served in the United States Air Force Reserve, and retired with the rank of colonel. He taught chemistry and astronomy for many years at Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts.
Harry Stubbs (actor)
Harry Oakes Stubbs was an English-born American character actor, who appeared both on Broadway and in films. He was born on December 7, 1874 in Southampton, Hampshire, England. Stubbs immigrated from England at the age of 16, and made his first Broadway appearance at the age of 31 in The Bad Samaritan, which had a short run of fifteen performances in September 1905 at the Garden Theatre.
The Internet Broadway Database (IBDB) has him appearing in only eight plays over the next 23 years, the last of which was 1928's The Big Fight which had a month run at the Majestic Theatre in September/October 1928.
In 1929, he would move to Hollywood and begin his film career, which spanned the first fifteen years of the sound era of the industry; he would appear in over 50 films during that time. At the beginning of his career in the movies, he would have several leading roles, as in his first film, Alibi, but for the most part he was relegated to the smaller roles of a character actor. Stubbs died on May 9, 1950, at the age of 75.

Hero
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'd do anything to be your hero.
Maybe I'm never gonna change the world,
Or split the atom in two,
I know one man can't save the universe,
But girl if I could I'd do it for you.
I'd give you anything you asked for,
I'd be your knight in shining armour,
And just like superman.
I'd move heaven and earth,
In order to save you,
Sail seven seas,
To come to your rescue,
What would it take?
Just let me know,
I'd do anything to be your hero (hero).
I know I may not be invincible,
Or be the worlds strongest man (oh no),
But baby nothing seems impossible,
With you by my side,
I'll hold back the tide.
I'd be your night in shining armour,
The light to guide you into harbour,
And just like superman.
I'd move heaven and earth,
In order to save you,
Sail seven seas,
To come to your rescue,
What would it take?
Just let me know,
I'd do anything to be your hero (hero).
I'd fly through the air,
Protect you from danger,
Walk through fire (walk through fire),
To win back your favour,
What more would it take?
I have to know,
Cause I'd do anything to be your hero,
I'd do anything to be your hero.
Hero hero hero
Hero hero hero
Hero hero hero
I'd do anything to be your hero
I'd move heaven and earth (oh yeah),
In order to save you (yes I would),
Sail seven seas,
To come to your rescue,
(What would it take?) What would it take?
Just let me know,
I'd do anything to be your hero (hero).
I'd fly through the air,
Protect you from danger,
Walk through fire (walk through fire),
To win back your favour,
What more would it take?
