...pulsating neutron-star and white-dwarf-star theories first suggested by Cambridge astronomers. Princeton Astrophysicist Jeremiah Ostriker suggested that the signals might be caused by rapidly rotating white dwarfs with a local disturbance on their surfaces. Signals from the disturbance would sweep across the earth like a lighthouse beacon once during each rotation of such a star. British Astrophysicists Fred Hoyle and J. Narlikar propose that the signals are connected with supernovas, or exploding stars...
...daily front-page columns were avidly read and misread by both Southern racists and Northern liberals. To the grasseaters of rural Georgia he was a "race-mixer" and worse; former governor Eugene Talmadge referred to him as "Rastus McGill."

...routine call for the Beacon Ambulance Service of Fort Lauderdale. No sirens, no red lights, just an old man dead on arrival at the Florida hos pital. The autopsy revealed "peritonitis, secondary to acute gangrenous appendicitis, ruptured." Only an uncommonly tough character could have endured such pain so long and without any relief through drugs or antibiotics. Indeed, the manner of Joe Martin's departure from life was entirely consistent with the way in which he had always conducted it. The former Republican Speaker of the House, dead last week at the age of 83, had never had much...
