...great as that from a starlike object called Sco XR-1-which appears to be the brightest X-ray emitter in the sky (TIME, Sept. 16). But 3C 273 is 1.5 billion light-years away, compared with only 500 light-years for Sco XR-1. The quasar's actual X-radiation is thus about one billion times that of Sco XR-1, the scientists calculate, and 500 times as powerful as that of M 87, a galaxy consisting of a trillion stars...
...greatest play-wrights of our time in the French language. Anouilh did, however, work from the play of Sophocles, though the result can in no wise be called a translation.

"If this precedent is followed," warned Black, "it means that we must in all libel cases hereafter weigh the facts and hold that all papers and magazines guilty of gross writing or reporting are constitutionally liable, while they are not, if the quality of the reporting is approved...
...father of contemporary music-the forerunner of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern." Yet no composer was ever less interested in the objective development of musical form as such. For Mahler, composing was a highly subjective process of grappling with the deepest, most painful questions of life. "The creative act and actual experience," he said, are "one and the same...
