...conservation." It is a lesson that Charles de Gaulle largely ignored. Public men today cannot learn it too well; for if one thing is certain, it is that the demands for new solutions and systems are going to grow in number, voracity and volume, and no society on earth will be spared the threat of the angry alternative...
...super civilization in distant space. Still in the running is the notion that they may be neutron stars: tiny bodies of densely packed neutrons, which are atomic particles having no electrical charge. The only thing that seems reasonably certain is that the pulsars are not much larger than Earth and are 50 to 400 light-years away. Says Astrophysicist A.G.W. Cameron of Yeshiva University, the conference chairman: "It's going to be a damn hard job to make any theory fill the bill...

Yet often as not, particularly with the elements, all the panelists have guessed wrong.

Since Jason also doubles as a Jesus figure, there is a persistent and annoying ambiguity as to which identity is being invoked at any given moment...
...density devised ten years ago by Harvard's Matthew Meselson, professor of Biology. Particles are placed in a centrifugal tube containing a salt gradient, a solution with various density levels. Kafatos used a centrifuge capable of creating a gravitational field 400,000 times greater than that of the earth. The particles soon settle to the level of the solution which has the same density...
