...that Louis Renault had died in a Paris nursing home. He had been rich, powerful and famous, cantankerous, brilliant, often brutal, the little Napoleon of an automaking empire.

Last week, in the cooler atmosphere of eleven years later, Louis Renault's widow sought a court decision to establish that Renault had not died of uremia, but had been "deliberately murdered after torture." The widow's story made big headlines, but it did not really startle Frenchmen; they sensed that it was probably...
...they arrived in Washington over the weekend, Democrats were still divided on two important points of strategy: 1) Should they make a partisan issue of foreign policy? 2) Should they attack President Eisenhower directly?

The Princeton cats may be disappointed...
...Orion nebula. A sequel to this theory: about 100,000 million stars in the Milky Way galaxy must have planets, and a considerable fraction of them must be suitable for life. Where life is possible, Hoyle believes, it will appear. He thinks that it may originate in the cooler gases around a newborn planet...
