...discovery is confirmed by further experiments, the American Institute of Physics and the University of California are both convinced that "it could rank as one of the major scientific events of the century." It would fill in some gaps in current scientific theory, modify present ideas about the basic building blocks of matter, and might eventually have significant practical applications in research, medicine and the generation of energy...
Once the program of retrenchment was announced, the banks agreed to provide the city with a loan of $250 million to help it avoid defaulting on $741 million in notes that fall due on Aug. 22, the next critical debt payment deadline. To fill the rest of the city's cash needs for August, including payroll and other expenses, Big Mac expects to make a private sale of some $650 million in bonds to a variety of New York institutions: banks, insurance companies, pension funds, corporations.

Stanton Davis and Ghetto Mysticism. Expect for a short fill-in gig a while back, this marks the first engagement at Boston's best jazz club for this locally based avant garde group.

Others concern the pornography of violence; a skiing accident, stained with blood and waste, and a murder by radar are as gripping...

Some centuries later, Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia set out to fill a comparable palace in St. Petersburg (now Leningrad) with Europe's finest paintings and artifacts. The result is now called the State Hermitage Museum, and it has one of the world's best and most encyclopedic collections, though it is also cluttered with much second-rate stuff. The Soviets have been reluctant to lend their treasures. Two years ago, Art Collector Armand Hammer, who is also chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corp...
