Shortly after dinner one evening last week, Physicist John A. Simpson got an important message from the University of Chicago's Enrico Fermi Institute: the alarm bell on the cosmic ray monitoring device in Simpson's office was ringing. When he got to his office, Simpson discovered that cosmic rays were bombarding the earth at a phenomenal rate of 3,000 per minute (normal rate for the area: 200 per minute). The activity, noted by observatories around the world, followed by less than 30 minutes a giant solar flare. It was the strongest indication so far that cosmic...
...Baritone Theodor Uppman tried hardest and succeeded best as Papageno, the comical birdman; partly thanks to Ruth and Thomas Martin's competent translation, he put across his role with almost Broadway-like punch. Soprano Lucine Amara (Pamina) sang beautifully, and Roberta Peters (Queen of the Night) did her bell-like best despite a cold.

Not one of the slim, attractive Americans could match the musical excitement so often provided...
After six hours, M.I.T. notified Tom's father, an official of the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., that his son must have met with some accident. Alfred R.

Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sheehan of Waltham, Mass, reported that near 2 a.m. on initiation night, a boy answering...

This is the will...
...Assembly president rang his silver bell, the Communists and Socialists banged their desks, the Poujadists sang the Marseillaise, and the center looked on in shocked silence. "You are a danger to the Republic," one aroused Deputy shouted at the Poujadists. "Yes-to the republic of cronies," retorted Poujadist Jean-Marie Le Pen. The Chamber of Deputies, which had been stunned to discover the voters of France had elected 53 vulgar persons called Poujadists to their republic of cronies, was trying to get rid of the fellows by other means...
