Clues to a possible explanation were recently uncovered at the bottom of the sea by Geologists Bruce Heezen and Bill Glass, of Columbia University's Lamont Geological Observatory, who were investigating some strange, glasslike fragments known as tektites. Many scientists believe that the tektites, which are found in several areas around the world, were formed when meteorites or comets collided with the earth. The en- counters were so catastrophic that bits of the earth, as well as chunks of the intruder, were hurled into space and then fell back. Heated both by the impact and their swift passage through...
Affirmative Precedent. To right the wrongs, Johnson's court issued a top-to-bottom desegregation plan that allows every student to designate the school of his choice.

He finishes, surveys it smugly, and writes C.O.D. instead of Q.E.D. at the bottom...
Harvard's strength at the bottom of the ladder was the decisive factor in yesterday's match. Tom Wynne, Bob Sinclair, and Roger Wales won at five, six, and seven, and were joined for the victory by captain Brain McGuinn at three and Bob Keefe...
