...Lunik II undoubtedly blasted a crater, which Kuiper estimates as about 100 ft. in diameter with walls 10 ft. high. If such a crater happened to be in a smooth place, it should be detectable by a powerful telescope, under ideal conditions, as a faint bright spot. If the Lunik crater were inside a big crater or in a jumble of craters, it would probably not be visible...
...Kaufman kept rushing to the bathroom for refuge. On the other hand, Hart was a compulsive eater (success has since cured him of the affliction), but was too shy to admit his ravenous hunger; while Kaufman operated on their scripts with innumerable scalpel-sharp pencils, Hart would nearly faint on dainty watercress sandwiches or sickening fudge cooked up by the great playwright himself...

...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.

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...
