...Russians found no measurable ions, and Shklovsky believes that true interplanetary space has little or no resident gas. One possibility is that the streams of high-energy particles that shoot out of the sun (and probably cause the earth's Van Allen radiation belt) sweep the solar system clean of any gas that leaks into...
...17th in a family of 19 children, Wilma had a series of crippling childhood diseases, did not walk until she was eight, and then had to wear a hightop, corrective shoe. By high school, Wilma had improved enough to become a four-year, all-state basketball player and to clean up in track.

He intimates that players like girls (and even do something about it in their off hours). He talks...
MOTORISTS flock to a Howard Johnson because they expect to find fairly uniform-if often bland-food, courteous-if not always swift-service, predictable and not too high prices, and clean rest rooms. Many customers are tugged in by their children, who make up 30% of Hojos' customers, are wooed with special bibs, bendable straws and their own menu...
