Comets, in fact, are nowhere near as large as planets. Their central structure, or nucleus, is usually no more than a few miles in diameter; it is believed to consist largely of frozen gases-mainly water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide and ammonia, and perhaps some hydrocarbons-and dust particles. That, at least, is the commonly accepted "dirty snowball" theory, originally proposed by Harvard's Whipple in 1950. But there are those who take exception to Whipple. British Astronomer Raymond A. Lyttleton prefers his own "gravel-bank" theory, which holds that the cometary nucleus is really a loose mass...
...Neill, Carlotta said, could feel "real love" only for his plays. Only Oona survived O'Neill's catastrophic fatherliness, which seemed to consist of a month of misleading warmth and charm followed by years of neglect, or hostility. After a brilliant start as a Greek scholar at Yale, Eugene Jr. killed himself. Shane turned to heroin, Oona turned to Charlie Chaplin, and both were eventually disinherited. But the family, the scene of O'Neill's greatest failure as a man, was the occasion for his greatest success as a writer. O'Neill is uneven...
WOMEN in at least two Houses, Adams and Lowell, have tried in the last several months to form women's groups. Nothing but their self-definition as "women's groups" is unusual; most activities consist of speakers' programs or social activities...
Everything that could possibly go wrong with a show has gone wrong with this musical. The score sticks in your ear like wax. The lyrics consist of ditties that a fifth-grader would not dare to pass in to his English teacher. The star (Kay Ballard) spins through her numbers like a treadless tank. She lacks the remotest trace of that sweetly enveloping maternal musk with which Gertrude Berg so winningly invested her creation, Molly Goldberg, in the vastly popular radio and TV serials spanning the years 1929-1954. Alan Arkin has directed the show the way a bartender jiggles...
...present, the main avenue for Catholic "divorce" is a declaration of annulment, which concludes that a marriage never existed. Since 1970, the once grueling annulment process in U.S. Catholic marriage tribunals has been streamlined considerably. Experimental rules in effect until 1974 permit tribunals to consist of only one judge, rather than three, and most annulments need be approved by only one court instead...
