...picture of the distant galaxy, taken by Hale Observatories Astronomer Halton Arp, reveals that M87 is even more remarkable than scientists had thought. The product of computer-enhancement techniques developed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Arp's picture shows that M87 is ejecting not merely a single stream of matter but a whole series of dense, luminous objects (bottom). Says Arp: "The galaxy must have undergone an explosion or a succession of explosions that threw them out at high velocity. The most intriguing question is: What will they develop into...

In his 1971 album Mwandishi (Swahili for composer), Hancock made his first extensive use of electronic sounds with such instruments or devices as electric bass, electric piano, echoplex and phase shifter. Head Hunters finds him, in addition, employing the Arp Soloist synthesizer (for melody) and the Arp Odyssey synthesizer (melody and color). As if to justify his expenditures, Hancock says: "There is only so much you do with a keyboard...
