...German-born Penzias whimsically called "a white dielectric material"-pigeon droppings -in their antenna. But soon they learned from a Princeton group that was trying to detect evidence of the Big Bang that the radiation picked up by their antenna was of far greater significance: its temperature was remarkably close to what scientists had been predicting for radiation left over from the primordial fireball. In theory, this radiation should be equivalent to what would be emitted by a so-called black body with a temperature of only 3.5 Celsius degrees above absolute zero-or about what the temperature...
...according to the agreement, Firestone will have less than 60 days to begin notifying owners by mail, television, radio and print. Claybrook says that NHTSA will keep a close watch on the notification campaign: "We will not leave it up to Firestone to determine the amount or the content of the advertising." Amid all else, Firestone is worried about reports that some people have begun rummaging through dumps in search of 500s that could conceivably be turned in for new 721s.

...with King, and after his ballyhooing pep rally cheer simply lumped King with the rest of the statewide candidates after singling out senatorial candidate Paul Tsongas for praise, King became noticeably more uncomfortable. The next day, of course, his aides would explain that King and Kennedy have never been close political allies. As for the boos, well, "They probably came from the Tsongas people, or somebody's staffers," Barry Kaplovitz, issues aide to King, quickly adds. "If there were a few boos in Lynn Square, it's nothing we are going to worry about," Kaplovitz says. There were more than...
