...STAGE at the Boston Tea A local group called Quill has just finished its good-to-dreary slot with a bang-up African number. The Jeff Beck Group now quickly marches in, Mick Waller at the drums, Jeff Beck prophetically brandishing his guitar. The singer Rod Stewart in burnt sienna flush velours pants that fit tight, an ornate silver cross hanging from his neck, has slender features and a bouffant hair-do and an impish grin. Ron Wood, on bass guitar, stakes out his area and the music flares like a newly struck match. Stewart sings "Rock me baby/Keep-on-rocking-me-baby/ Rock...
...those seeking home mortgages or other forms of credit. The entire economy could ease into a more stable growth pattern than has prevailed for the past two years. There may be some disconcerting bumps as things decelerate, but they are likely to be gentle compared to the inflationary bang that would almost surely have resounded without the tax bill...
...screen-at 12:19-with wobbly video tape from the murder scene. CBS's Roger Mudd, in the ballroom during the shooting, was alerted by a man who tore wildly out of the kitchen corridor, put his finger up to his head like a pistol and yelled, "Bang, bang, bang!" "That turned my stomach," recalls Mudd. He and his crew then tore their camera off the tripod and plunged into the corridor. It was a standard film camera, and so was NBC's. By the time CBS and NBC got their film processed and the murder scene pictures...
Decelerating Bang. Recalling an ear lier suggestion that soft X rays would be given off by hot, thinly dispersed hydrogen gas, the NRL scientists turned to their computers. To produce the detected radiation, they calculated, the temperature of the gas would have to be 1,400,000° F. and its density only one atom of hydrogen in every 3.5 cu. ft. of space. But even at this low density, says Astrophysicist Henry, the hydrogen gas would constitute 100 times as much matter as there is in all of the galaxies combined and thus solve the mystery of the universe...
...finding has profound implications for cosmologists, most of whom now believe that the universe began about 10 billion years ago with the explosion of a primordial clump of densely packed matter. The fragments of the original "big bang" have been expanding outward ever since, but at a rate that is steadily decelerating be cause of gravitational pull of each particle of matter on all the others. If the total mass of the universe is less than a certain value, cosmologists say, gravitational pull will never fully overcome the momentum imparted by the big bang; the universe will then continue...
