...natural gas bill is not a panacea, or even a part of one, for American energy ills. All the bill will do is raise gas prices incrementally over a seven-year period, and then lift price controls entirely in 1985. Controlled interstate gas currently sells for $1.50 per thousand cubic feet (MCF), while unregulated interstate runs about $1.95 per MCF; in 1985, the price for all gas will...

Using Einstein's equations, astronomers determined that after all of the nuclear fuel is consumed, gravity eventually would cause the star to contract into a white dwarf, a sphere only about as big as the earth but so dense that each cubic centimeter would weigh a ton. Their calculations finally made sense of a dim companion of the star Sirius that was first observed in the 1860s and had puzzled astronomers for decades. Though the star was apparently small, it exerted an inexplicably great gravitational pull on Sirius. The dense little companion?like others that have been observed since?...
