...supernova. As the star and its magnetic field spin, the outmost of the trapped gases are whirled at almost the speed of light until they break away, producing an intense beam of radio waves-the regularly spaced pulses. At the same time, Gold theorizes, the ionized gases exert a drag on the magnetic field, and thus on the star itself, gradually slowing its rate of spin...
...Superstar. What they are actually doing, as opposed to what they are saying, is difficult to fathom from the transcript of the tape. The jacket blurb again is helpful: "The Duchess, who has stolen 3,000 pills and a blood-pressure machine, is in the hospital; Ondine dresses in drag for an evening at the 'teenage whore house'; Taxine confesses to Ondine why she must hang out with Andy; the Duchess escapes from the hospital; Andy is analyzed in a hostile face-to-face confrontation with an admirer; Irving du Ball puts everyone down...

There is not much for them to do except read the Dothan (Ala.) Eagle or dip snuff or watch the tractors or pray for rain. There is not even a movie house...
