Next day the car was abandoned in Atlanta, 382 miles away. Gait had managed the long drive unhindered, and disappeared after taking a taxi ride; the driver later recognized him from an FBI sketch. From this point on, Eric Starve Gait ceased to exist...
Improbable Probability. To explain why, Judge Raymond Sullivan attached a four-page appendix to his opinion that carried the necessary math far beyond the relatively simple formula of probability. Judge Sullivan was willing to assume it was unlikely that such a couple as the one described existed. But since such a couple did exist-and the Collinses demonstrably did exist-there was a perfectly acceptable mathematical formula for determining the probability that another such couple existed. Using the formula and the prosecution's figure of 12 million, the judge demonstrated to his own satisfaction and that of five concurring...

In Earth's uncompromising view, reason can prove only that the nonexistence of God is absurd; the positive assertion, that God does exist, can come only by means of revelation...
Enormously Wasteful. Several scientists have theorized that the pulses may be caused by white dwarf or neutron stars rotating rapidly around each other in a binary system; any particles passing through the rotating and intense magnetic field that must exist between the two stars would produce strong radiation that would periodically sweep the earth. Others have suggested that the intense gravity of a star in such a binary system would act as a lens, periodically intensifying and focusing the radiation from the twin star passing behind...
City Planning--one of the three fields you could specify within Arch Sci, the others being architecture and landscape architecture--is one of those romantically sociological - sounding fields of study, like International Law, that really doesn't exist. That is to say there are no international laws to study; one studies how the politics of different countries interact with their own national laws. In the same way, there are no men who plan cities, only those who design individual buildings, bridges, parks, while cosidering how their efforts will affect the overall environment...
