...even burned some of his books and papers. Reich was sent to jail-for contempt of court-and died there of a heart attack in 1957 at the age of 60. At times he saw himself as the victim of a Communist conspiracy and a heroic casualty in a cosmic war in which the enemy included aliens in flying saucers...
...objects, possibly newborn, in which supposedly in violable constants such as the acceleration of gravity are not constant but continually changing. Then there are pulsars, the collapsed cadavers of giant stars that give off extraordinary pulses of radiation, and kindred black holes, which are totally invisible but act like cosmic vacuum cleaners in sweeping up any stray stel lar material in their vicinity. Where does this material go? England's Roger Penrose and Robert Hjellming of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory have dared to suggest that it might surface elsewhere, perhaps in an entirely different universe...
...Truth reveals its secrets only to those who search for it, and no one will ever corner the market. Each age produces its own men of destiny who recognize their role and play their inevitable part in the gigantic cosmic drama that is life. Bless Castaneda [March 5] and his kind! May their number increase! Perhaps they will lead us out of the wilderness of this plane and into that which is our true home, or at least alert those unaware that more is happening to many who are ready than has been reported by the media of every description...

But where Agathon, Grendel, and their stories become complete in themselves, exclusive of and only supplemented by other devices, the Sunlight Man is lost in the shuffle of overburdening plot and structure complexities that never really hold their...
Nearly 200 Ibs. heavier than Lunokhod 1, which it closely resembles, the remarkable machine is apparently equipped with sophisticated gear to analyze the soil that it picks up. In addition, the robot carries a cosmic-ray counter, a "telescope" that can look for distant X-ray sources in the heavens and a French-built laser reflector, which -like similar reflectors left behind by Apollo-should enable scientists to measure the distance between earth and moon with extreme accuracy...
