...Sanders to lunch at The Bistro, a modish Beverly Hills restaurant. They had hardly looked at the menu when some of Wyman-Ku-chel's more or less celebrated clients just happened to stop by the table for a drink. Before finishing a main course of broiled breaded crab legs, Sanders had a chance to chat with Comedian Milton Berle, as well as Actresses Jill St.John and Janet Leigh...

...grounds, yielding 27 million Ibs. of fish, including mackerel, anchovies and bonita, in 1967. Since the spill, the Fisherman's Cooperative Association of San Pedro has not taken a fish out of the channel. "We haven't even seen one," says General Manager Tony Pisano. Lobster and crab fishermen retrieving their pots from the channel found their catch alive, but completely covered with...
...electronic device that made 12,000 separate light-intensity measurements every second. They quickly discovered that the starlight increased to a peak about 30 times per second, a variation too rapid to be detected by the human eye. The flashes corresponded exactly to the radio pulses from the Crab pulsar, strongly suggesting that the target was indeed the pulsar. Unlike an earlier and apparently erroneous sighting of a flashing pulsar (TIME, May 31), this discovery was confirmed by the McDonald Observatory in Texas and Arizona's Kitt Peak National Observatory...
Astronomers do not yet know why the Crab pulsar flashes, but some suspect that its bursts of light are generated by charged particles in its intense magnetic field. Now that they have seen the light, scientists are attempting to take a clear spectrograph of the pulsar and to determine if the light itself is polarized. They are investigating a new report by astronomers at an observatory on Malta, who saw strange "ghost" flashes about 3° to either side of both the Crab pulsar and another nearby pulsar. With these new clues, scientists hope to be able to learn more...
