...weeks we will even extend the compulsory military service of our own youth from 15 to 18 months. Can you tell me what I am supposed to say to our soldiers when they ask why they are supposed to make this personal sacrifice? Many of my fellow citizens have told me recently that it was right for us to have supported the U.S. over its missile deployment. However, they also ask me if it is also right for us to be totally alone when it comes to our feelings...
...part of the armor that carries a candidate through the campaigning. He may have been running for President twelve years as Reagan had in 1980, four years as Carter had in 1976, and that experience may have given him at least a layer or two of insulation from his fellow Americans...
...astronomers who considered and promptly rejected the galactic carrousel notion was California's Muller, a scientist obsessed by periodicity. If a familiar cosmic mechanism could not account for the cyclic nature of extinctions, he decided, something completely different would have to do. During Christmas break in 1983, Muller and fellow Astronomers Marc Davis of Berkeley and Piet Hut of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton were brainstorming about stars and periodicity, when Muller noted that more than half the stars in the galaxy are thought to be binaries (pairs of stars that orbit a common center of gravity). Suppose...
...devising their Planet X model, Whitmire and fellow Louisiana Astrophysicist John Matese took an entirely different tack, determining the nature and orbit of a planet that would loose rains of comets at the necessary intervals. The result of their calculations: a planet with an orbital plane that slowly rotates around the sun, completing its cycle once every 56 million years. Twice during that cycle, every 28 million years, Planet X's orbit carries it through a disk of comets lying just beyond Neptune, dislodging many of them...

Michael Pakaluk (Teaching Fellow in Philosophy) goes out of his way in his letter of April 22 to misrepresent the recent event, Abortion: Whose Life, Whose Choice? His letter is so fallacious and hysterical as to perhaps not warrant considered response; however, the issue is an important one and deserves deeper discussion than that presented in his letter...
