...SHELLEY BILL, sponsored by California Democrat John F. Shelley. Mildest of the three, it would merely require labor unions to open their books for inspection. It carried the faint blessing of A.F.L.-C.I.O. Chief George Meany, but not of Teamster Hoffa, who opposes reform of any kind...
...boys had their father's name going for them, and they had a faint but familiar facsimile of their old man's talent. They also had a fierce urge to prove that they could make it on their own. So Bing Crosby's four sons-Gary, 26, twins Dennis and Phil, 25, and Lindsay, 21-put together a family-style act of songs and smart-aleck chatter and started right at the top of the nightclub circuit. The Crosby boys blew into Las Vegas' Sahara nightclub last month, after three successful weeks at Chicago...
Lambda particles are short-lived packets of matter created when high-energy protons hit protons at rest. Since each particle is presumed to have its "anti" counterpart, scientists have long been looking for anti-lambda. Faint traces of the elusive particle showed last year on photographic plates exposed to the 6 billion-volt Berkeley Bevatron, but the plates were too small to tell much of the anti-lambda story...
...came at the beginning of spring-a faint rustle of interest after years of bored silence. As the season drew on, the clap-clap-clapping for a rally that once quickly faded began echoing through the ballpark in confident, continuing waves. By last week fans who had not bothered to see a game since Walter ("Big Train") Johnson retired in 1927 were hurrying to Griffith Stadium in time for batting practice, and dazzled team officials were saying that attendance for the year would be up 40%. The Washington Senators, long known for patty-ball hitting, were flashing the most exciting...
Astronomers, who consider the planets as prospective real estate for the space age, have longed for years to see Venus occult a bright star. But such events are extremely rare. Venus looks big because of sunlight reflecting brightly from its faintly yellow cloud deck; actually, to earth-bound observers its disk is never larger (usually much smaller) than a golf ball seen from a distance of 500 ft. As the tiny sphere creeps slowly across the star field, it occasionally covers a faint star, but not once since the invention of the telescope 350 years ago has it covered anything...
