...Wasserman and Edward Bowell have calculated 40 points on the comet's route at which it will pass directly in front of a relatively bright star. During one of these passages, which are expected to last about 15 minutes, they hope to learn how dust is distributed in the coma by analyzing the starlight shining through it. At Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, nearly 14,000 ft. above sea level, Astronomer Dale Cruikshank is using infrared photometry and imagery to measure the heat radiation from Halley's coma and the distribution of dust within it, as well as to look...

The fumes cause spasms in the bronchial tubes, preventing oxygen from getting into...

John Belushi sank into a coma and died in March 1982, his body devastated by lethal dosages of heroin and cocaine, his arms disfigured by the red splotches of needle injections. A preliminary hearing started last week in Los Angeles Municipal Court to determine if Cathy Evelyn Smith, 38, a former singer and Belushi's companion during his final days, should be tried for second-degree murder in the 33-year-old comedian's death. Prosecution witnesses, among them former Saturday Night Live Writer Nelson Lyon, said they saw Smith give Belushi repeated drug injections...
