A group of anti-Istiqlal Berber leaders and wealthy independents petitioned the Premier for guarantees of "democratic freedoms" against the arbitrary electioneering tactics they feared the powerful Istiqlal might use.

Whether all these settlements would decrease the anti-American poison spread by the captive Cairo press or broadcast by Cairo propaganda stations remains to be seen. At the moment Nasser was off to Moscow-to be guest of honor at the May Day parade...
...been a good union man." After a last concert at Manhattan's Lewisohn Stadium in July 1953, Levant packed off to a Pasadena sanitarium.

Meanwhile, those who cherish the laws of symmetry are considering the possibility of distant anti-galaxies in space. Such weird other worlds, balancing galaxies of ordinary matter in the universe, may well exist...
Physicist Wyatt suggests another search at the site for short-lived radioisotopes, produced by intense gamma radiation, which could prove the point. One theoretical flaw in the argument is that an antimatter meteor ought to explode shortly after whizzing into the earth's atmosphere. Moreover, anti-gravity may be a property of antimatter. Unlike other meteors, which fall into the earth's gravitational field, an antimatter meteor would be repelled. But if antimatter does not have antigravity, an antimatter meteor - if big enough to survive the annihilation of its surface - might hit the earth...
