Thus at week's end, when a message crackled from Radio Peking that an important announcement would follow in a few hours, Sinologists the world over jumped for their monitoring sets. What had been going on in Peking, said the broadcast, was the first meeting in four years of the Central Committee of Red China's Communist Party...
...emergencies, but we'll have to accept them in all fairness to the ones which may really save a life, prevent a hold up, or get aid faster to an accident." If the six-month experiment works out, other Bell systems across the country are expected to follow suit. If so, they will only be catching up. Paris has already begun installing pay phones direct access to the operator in emergencies, and Londoners have long able to get help by simply dialing...
What is needed, then, is a new format. For the pyramid style, Reston would substitute a "case study outline" that starts with an unbiased statement of the relevant facts. The facts are followed by a series of "definitions" of alternative courses of action which the government might follow, along with arguments for and against each policy. The advantage of this format, according to Reston, is that it allows people to make a choice instead of simply receiving a deluge of facts, both important and trivial...
...tape used in a four-track cartridge-did stereotapes begin booming. Lear Jet Corp. and RCA Victor developed the new cartridge and player. The eight-track sets sold so well (250,000 to date) that Chrysler recently introduced its own set, and General Motors and American Motors will follow with their units beginning with '67-model cars.

...supernova's own gigantic size is its undoing. Astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that a star whose mass is greater than 1.44 times the sun's mass cannot follow normal stellar evolution. Over a few million years, burning hydrogen on the outer layers of such a star produces more and more helium at its core. The doomed star's interior shrinks rapidly; and the density of its core increases. As temperatures rise in the contracting core, the collected helium is converted into successively heavier elements, such as iron and gold, which crowd the lighter elements outward...
