...Named "X." Elijah Muhammad was born Elijah Poole, son of a Baptist minister, in Sandersville, Ga. on Oct. 7, 1897, later moved with his family to Detroit. One momentous day, he tells the faithful, he met one Fard Muhammad, who revealed himself to be "Allah on earth"-on earth, that is, just long enough to pick the "messenger" for his black-supremacy doctrine. Messenger Elijah dropped his "slave-master name" of Poole, took up the spiritual surname Muhammad (lacking religious surnames, his ministers just use "X"). He founded Temple No. i in 1931, but soon ran into difficulties...

...Eggs. Next day Nixon and his swelling entourage-"This is beginning to look like Coxey's Army," cracked one U.S. correspondent-headed east to Russia's great Siberian hinterland, where the earth is black and rich, and sunflowers (grown for their commercial oil) lattice the countryside with gold.

...Minnesota showed that the radiation was made of speeding protons from the sun. The radiation was about 1,000 times as intense as the cosmic rays that normally come from space. Unlike the Van Allen radiation, which is made of solar protons that have been trapped by the earth's magnetic field and forced to zigzag around the earth, the balloon-detected particles came directly from the sun, crashing into the earth's atmosphere with energies between no million and 120 million electron-volts...
