...under heavily guarded "protective custody." As reports reached the capital of sporadic fighting between police and the King's men in the rugged outback, Chief Jonathan expelled eight political figures, including several of the King's closest advisors. Some observers felt that Chief Jonathan was using the dust-up as an excuse to rid the country of what both he and South African authorities viewed as dangerous elements. As for the young King, Chief Jonathan seems inclined to forgive him once things quiet down-provided he immediately mends his ways. Otherwise, hinted some government leaders, they will depose...
...PROFESSIONALS. The liveliest western dust-up since Shane stars Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode and Robert Ryan as four nail-hard professional gunmen hired at $10,000 apiece to find an errant wife (Claudia Cardinale) and return her to her husband...
...star was radiating with inexplicable intensity at the longest wave lengths. On the theory that something was obscuring the visible light, Low asked Smith to help work out a mathematical model of a bright, hot star that was surrounded by a thick blanket of gas and dust...
Starting with a mathematical model of the present distribution of interplanetary dust, they produced a set of equations describing the primitive solar system when, like R Man, it was surrounded by a vast cloud of dust. Low checked the predictions of this model against his R Mon readings, and found an almost perfect match...
Contracting Cloud. Though R Mon is a near neighbor, only 2,000 light-years away, its characteristics have universal implications. Most astronomers agree that the sun formed from a slowly rotating nebula-a cloud of dust and gas that gradually contracted because of gravitation, and began to rotate faster. When pressures at the dense center of the shrinking cloud produced enough heat, thermonuclear reactions took place and the sun began to burn, still surrounded by the outlying portions of the cloud-apparently the current state of R Man's evolution. As more of the particles fell toward the burning...
