Reviews for the Nemesis debut were what might be called mixed. Critics charged that so gigantic an orbit had never been recorded for two companion stars, and with good reason. If the sun and its presumed partner were actually three light-years (18 trillion miles) apart, they said, the gravitational attraction between them would be so feeble that a passing star or dust cloud would have bumped Nemesis out of orbit long ago, certainly before it could come back through the Oort cloud a dozen times.

Thirsty Americans will get their first taste of the new Coke, packed in white- and-red cans bearing the word NEW on a silver strip, this month. Within five weeks the drink should be available almost everywhere in the U.S. and Canada.

In one of the first commercials, Comedian Bill Cosby, dressed as an archaeologist and surrounded by relics, quips, "If you're a Pepsi drinker, well, maybe that...

It is ironic that a work that Sartre did not intend for public eyes and one that makes its public debut long after his most widely acclaimed works reached their audience (his latest famous work, Words, was published in 1964) should be the one to reveal the entire man. Reading Sartre's own everyday observations on life, one is hard pressed not to think that maybe his accounts...
