...last week most of the top-flight cowboys of the North American rodeo circuit circulated around Broadway movie theatres and bars, wearing at the Garden's special behest the widest hats and brightest shirts they could buy. As contestants in what is one of the most unprofitable as well as one of the riskiest of sports, rodeo cowboys average about $3,000 a year in prize money, spend most of it on traveling expenses, clothes, entry fees, hospital bills. Few, therefore, can afford to pass up the Madison Square Garden rodeo, which offers the season's biggest total...

...cross country, and jaakko must take the milers and half milers that appear and try to adjust them to the longer distance.

...electrons coalesce on the surface into neutrons which, having no electric charges to repel one another, "rain" down toward the centre, pack sluggishly together, creating a heavy, lifeless "neutron star." With the possible exception of one 19th Century supernova, the supernova reported by Dr. Zwicky last week was the brightest ever studied by modern astronomers. It was ten times brighter than the average supernova, 100 times brighter than the whole island universe to which it belonged, 500,000,000 times brighter than the sun. Distant as it was, it reached a magnitude of 8.5, which is only two magnitudes below...
