Indeed, there are several basic physical problems that astrophysicists must strive to unravel in the 1980s.

Each discovery that adds to the storehouse of information generates a host of new questions that eventually lead to more discoveries and so on, thus causing a rich acceleration of basic knowledge. It was the great rate of discovery that seems to have made...

The Nazi goons begin beating Rudy viciously and order Max to do the same. He begins in utter dismay, recognizes what he has been degraded to, and in an orgy of self-loathing deals his lover the final fatal blow. To amuse themselves further, the guards then order Max to undergo an appalling sexual test. He passes. The guards thought, as he tells Horst...
