Where did the old Saturday Review go? Right up the street, as it turns out. Norman Cousins, who stalked away from SR and its new owners' overhaul plans seven months ago, last week put out the first biweekly issue of World magazine; it is the deadest of ringers for SR as it used...
Long the Reddest, deadest corpse in the Soviet satellite closet, East Germany showed faint stirrings of unnatural life last week.

Still, the radio window has already brought the universe to life in numberless unexpected ways. Even the moon, just about the deadest object in the solar system, sends out radio waves that tell something about its temperature and about the material on its surface...
