...demonstrators, Ky summoned an extraordinary session of the nation's generals and officials, who flew in from all over the country. They agreed to call a Congress in one or two weeks to work out the composition of a constitution-making assembly. In a press conference afterward, the mercurial Premier, puffing on Salems and nibbling from a plate of candy, made the angry charge that the city of Danang, where demonstrations were spreading, "is already held by the Communists, and the government will undertake operations to clear them out. We will liberate Danang." Snapped Ky in English: "The mayor...
Police Intrusion. For the first time in memory the government communique issued afterward made no charge of subversive or left-wing influence. The reason: deference to the rapidly growing opposition from right-wing and Catholic circles to restrictive government measures. The reaction of Barcelona's clergy to this first police violation of ecclesiastical property in the postwar era was prompt and stinging.

Since, in general, the weakest and least viable colonies are the last to be turned loose, the prospect is staggering. All of them, of course...
...smaller and more manageable areas. In 1949, astronomers using these directions spotted the first visible object outside the solar system that was associated with a discrete radio source: the Crab Nebula, the remnant of a star explosion (or supernova) in the earth's Milky Way galaxy. Shortly afterward, they identified the first visible source outside the Milky Way: a large galaxy 50 million lightyears* from earth. In the next decade, as radio and optical astronomy continued their fruitful alliance, about 100 additional galaxies and supernovas were recognized as powerful radio transmitters...
