...displays three red shifts. In addition to the expected shift of its emission lines, Astronomers Greenstein and Maarten Schmidt (TIME cover, March 11, 1966) have found its absorption lines have two distinctly different and lower red shifts. Astronomer Greenstein believes that they are caused by light from the central body passing through two shells of gas rapidly expanding away from the quasar; the light is thus absorbed by matter that is receding from the earth at velocities slightly different from that of the central body...

Sales of bananas at Harvard Square groceries have tripled in the past week.

...opinion. And Clark, since his son Ramsey was appointed Acting Attorney General and later Attorney General, has abstained from cases in which the Justice Department takes a part. This time, even though Justice was deeply involved, Clark sat in on the arguments and tipped the decision against the Penn Central. Without Clark's vote, the outcome would have been a 4-4 tie, in which case the merger would have been flagged through...
