Lyndon Johnson, looking trim and tanned, is in pretty good humor himself these days, and he is only too happy to account for it. He is optimistic that by continued persuasion and pressure -"the jawbone technique," in Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler's phrase -he can keep the booming U.S. economy from spiraling out of control. On the international scene, he can only be reassured by the strident argy-bargy between Moscow and Peking, despite some pundits' predictions that the U.S. stand in Viet Nam could only induce harmony between the two great Communist powers (see THE WORLD...
...private, the Administration was worried that the crawl might become a walk, then a gallop. In public, on the other hand, the White House for months has soft-pedaled talk of inflation, which by November could hurt Democratic candidates more than any other issue. Thus Treasury Secretary Henry Fowler was still maintaining last week: "My view is that we do not have inflation now." Similarly, Chairman Gardner Ackley of the President's Council of Economic Advisers pooh-poohed talk of imminent tax increases, insisting: "We want to watch the figures more closely for a while...

...necessity of explaining the prodigious outpouring of energy from such small bodies has generated some fantastic intellectual inventions, some of which may yet turn out to be accurate. Fred Hoyle and a California Institute of Technology colleague, William Fowler, have suggested that quasars might well be massive superstars whose nuclear fires have died down because of the depletion of their hydrogen fuel. Such stars, they say, would begin to collapse, contracting under their own gravity. And the tremendous energy released by matter falling toward the star centers might well be of a magnitude that could explain a quasar...
Hoyle and Fowler are disputed by other scientists who maintain that gravitational collapse of such a very massive star would quickly result in a mind-boggling consequence: the Schwarzschild singularity. In 1916, German Astronomer Karl Schwarzschild used Einstein's equations to demonstrate that very massive bodies can literally gravitate themselves out of the observable universe. When such stars contract to a critical size during catastrophic collapse, Schwarzschild calculated, their gravity becomes so strong that it prevents any matter, or even radiation, from escaping into space. As a result, the stars simply disappear from view; they would be detectable only...
