South of Sehjra, Indian armored units have been plowing through sand across the West Pakistan border, taking hundreds of square miles of desert and announcing the advance of their troops to places that apparently consist of two palm trees and a shallow pool of brackish water. Among the enemy equipment reported captured: several camels. The reason behind this rather ridiculous adventure is the fear that Pakistan will try to seize large tracts of Indian territory to hold as ransom for the return of East Bengal. That now seems an impossibility with Bangladesh an independent nation, but India wants to have...
...planet. The information would be contained in a series of irregularly spaced pulses picked up by radio telescopes tuned to a wave length of 21 cm. (the natural frequency of radiation from a hydrogen atom and an obvious choice of an advanced civilization). Translated into print, the message would consist of an apparently meaningless sequence of 1,271 ones (for pulses) and zeros (for gaps between the pulses...

He calculates the combined assets of U.S. dioceses and religious orders at $34.2 billion, which is only slightly less than the worth of American Telephone and Telegraph. But Catholic assets consist mostly of churches and schools, which are costly to run and consume income instead of producing...
