...Chavez could give that his fanciful reconstruction called Xochi-pili-Macuilxochitl after the Aztec god of music, the dance, flowers, love-was the real stuff. But it really sounded like an Aztec jam session. Flutes and pipes shrilled and wailed, a trombone (subbing for the snail shell) neighed an angular melody, to the spine-tingling thump-and-throb of drums, gourds, rattles.

Every night for 37 years leathery, angular Arnold Friedman went home from his job as a Manhattan postal clerk to his attic studio in Queens. There he painted the people who had come up to his money-order window, the street scenes that had caught his eye. In 1937 he retired on pension, able at last to paint all day. Last Feb. 23 Arnold Friedman was 60. Same day the Metropolitan Museum of Art bought his painting Unemployable (see cut). By last week, when his one-man show opened in Manhattan's Bonestell Gallery, modest Arnold Friedman was making...
Later astronomers abandoned the nebular hypothesis. They found two things wrong with it: 1) it was unlikely that the rings would gather into planets; 2) the "angular momentum" was wrong. Angular momentum can be roughly defined as the amount of rotation in a system. In the solar system the planets have about 98% of the angular momentum, but only one-seventh of 1% of the solar system's mass, the rest being in the sun. The Laplace theory could not account for this discrepancy. It seemed more likely that there had been interference from outside...

...Protestant was angular, deep-voiced, intense Dr. Richard Roberts. Presbyterian theologian and onetime moderator of the United Church of Canada. The Catholic was a famed convert, bespectacled, dynamic, firm-jawed Rev. William Edwin Orchard of London. To bring the two together for a series of four joint lectures, the sponsors of Yale's University Christian Conference had had to obtain the permission of Bishop Maurice Francis McAuliffe of Hartford (in whose diocese New Haven lies), and Arthur Cardinal Kinsley of London, Father Orchard's superior...
