...yellow dust that forms the clouds of Venus is carried high. Where the currents move downward, the dust deck is lower, and above it lies a greater thickness of carbon dioxide. The CO2 reflects violet light better than the dust does, and this makes the down-current zones photograph brighter than the others. In light of longer wave length, the bands are invisible...
...Flint or Fresno who dreams of some day loading the wife and kids in the family sedan and steering a few weeks later across the big swinging bridge over the Panama Canal, prospects looked a little brighter last week. Rolling up its maps in Mexico City at the end of one of its occasional meetings, the directing committee of the Pan American Highway Congress released information showing that only 6% of the 3,200-mile Laredo-to-Panama stretch is still missing.

...continued observations with a given apparatus for a very long time, what changes would we see?" asks Gold. As billions follow billions of years, the most distant galaxies slip over the edge of the universe as their light becomes too feeble to be observed. Faint nearby galaxies grow brighter as they collect more matter. As the space between them expands, new galaxies are born to glow faintly in the new space...

In its tale of a fanatical Soviet woman commissar-who on a mission to Paris responds to French life and American love-there are brighter lines than in most musicals. There are two or three good Cole Porter tunes, and now and then a good Cole Porter lyric. As Ninotchka, Cinemactress Hildegarde Neff is exotic and pleasing enough to get by without a voice; as Ninotchka's Hollywood agent of a beau, oldtime Cinemactor...
