...explosion is quite an event; for a couple of weeks the supernova gives as much light as 200 million suns. The Russian astronomers do not think that a brief burst of light from a supernova 26 light-years away would have much effect on the earth. Much more serious, they think, would be the vast amount of cosmic rays streaming out of the wreckage of the shattered star. For a few hundred or thousand years after the explosion, the number of cosmic rays hitting the earth would be many times greater than it is today...
...exceptions, the Tigers should pose little difficulty. John Hammond, outstanding in the 200-yard butterfly stroke, is ill and will definitely be out of action. Ulen wants to be sure that Hammond will be in top shape for the Brown meet next week. However, Princeton's Larsen swims this event in only 2:32, and Jim Perilman should be able to top this. The Crimson should easily take the rest of the events, making use of their depth in the other positions...

...even. Attendance (at 95?a head) for the first two days of the ten-day show: 6,942. Total picture sales: $15,175. At least the show had demonstrated the widespread, brush-in-hand U.S. interest in painting. With reasonable success in 1958, it might become a revealing annual event...
