...with the kelp on the strand; and sometimes at night he would rouse himself on his pallet with a dreadful groan, exclaiming, "Oh, I am thinking about sex again!" This was so painful to his mother and father and three living grandparents, who slept like spoons in the big bed beside and slightly above his pallet, that they arranged for him to be shipped to the colonies. He was then approaching 40. He married here and, like most Irish-Americans down to the present day, never thought about sex again...
...zones "astride" the borders, a suggestion that Israel has always resisted. In fact, the only encouraging sign was a negative one. Nasser has apparently not rejected the notion of a "contractual agreement," thus keeping open the possibility of a deal with the Israelis and indicating a desire for the big-power talks to continue...

Just as a cyclist feels more of a breeze when he rides with the wind in his face rather than at his back, the lingering radiation from the so-called "big bang" would appear slightly stronger to an observer on earth when the planet is moving toward the radio waves. Conklin figured that if he could somehow determine the apparent excess of radiation caused by the earth's own motion, he could, in fact, then measure the motion itself...
...also have found possible confirmation of the "big bang" theory. If the universe had indeed been born in a cataclysmic explosion eons ago, it would still be expanding in all directions. Despite their continued drift away from the original blast, the individual parts of the universe would remain in approximately the same position in relation to one another - much like the lettering on the surface of an expanding balloon. That, says Conklin, is the pattern of galactic movement indicated by his observations...
