...guises, not all of them improvements. Among the better results are the brilliantly cold, clear oysters; bluepoints, Cotuits and belons are handsomely served on seaweed- strewn ice with a cocktail sauce that has a thicker, lusher texture than in the past. Other welcome additions are the puffy, golden-brown crab cakes with a gossamer horseradish-butter-cream sauce and the rose-pink calves liver bedded down on red-onion marmalade. Chicken hash, as always, is really creamed chicken but fresher and more flavorful...
...rebellion gathered steam last year after the city imposed a $5 beach parking fee and two municipal officials were indicted for misconduct. Groused former Mayor Hank March: "We've been putting up with mismanagement and ineptitude for 16 years." As Crystal Beach braces for the tumult of its annual Crab Festival this weekend, the battle continues. A petition has been filed demanding a recount of the vote, and Mayor-sort-of- elect Kelsey promises a lawsuit over 50 alleged election irregularities. Anarchy has not yet descended, but there are grounds for concern. One night last week a young motorcyclist roared...

There is no proof that this primitive artwork represents the supernova, but archaeological dating techniques show the Indians were in the area when the star flared, and astronomers have calculated that the supernova indeed appeared...
Europeans left no known record of the Crab supernova, although some probably saw it, and no evidence has been found that they saw an 1181 stellar explosion. It was not until November 1572 that Europe joined the fraternity of distinguished supernova recorders. Although Danish Astronomer Tycho Brahe was not the first to spot the new star that appeared in the constellation Cassiopeia, he ensured that posterity would associate his name with it by writing a book titled De Nova Stella (Concerning the New Star...
