...forcible conversion to Jewry occurred in the 2nd Century B.C., when John Hyrcanus, an early Maccabaean leader, in spite of protests from the rabbis, converted the idolatrous Idumeans. In 740 A.D. the Khazar dynasty in southern Russia, originally pagan, became Jewish. Their kingdom was wiped out in 1016. Aquila, supposedly related to Emperor Hadrian, became a Jew, translated the Old Testament into Greek. A contemporary convert is French, Catholic-born Poet Aimé Palli...
...outdo previous frenzies. Many brought ancient costumes, decked with beads, feathers, shells for their traditional dances. Others set up stands and sold native products to visitors. Through the crowds circulated vendors of the real, authentic Basilica cigarets, proceeds from the sale of which were, to be given by El Aquila Cigaret Co. to the alteration fund of the Basilica.

Recent and as yet unpublished studies of a star cloud in Aquila show that practically all the stars are of the same type as the sun--a very unusual circumstance, since Milky Way stars elsewhere have mainly been of the hotter classes. It is unknown whether this anomalous result, which involves tens of thousands of stars, means that we have here a star cloud of dwarfs like the sun, or if it means that we are dealing with a peculiar assemblage of yellowish giant stars at a special stage in the evolution of a stellar system...
