...particles in its intense magnetic field. Now that they have seen the light, scientists are attempting to take a clear spectrograph of the pulsar and to determine if the light itself is polarized. They are investigating a new report by astronomers at an observatory on Malta, who saw strange "ghost" flashes about 3° to either side of both the Crab pulsar and another nearby pulsar. With these new clues, scientists hope to be able to learn more about the physical characteristics of the neutron star and move closer to a complete solution of the great pulsar mystery...

...more outstanding members. Styron's character is not even well enough acquainted with the church's rhetoric to speak in the vernacular. He constantly refers to "visions" from Heaven. Modern black clergy would refer to the same Occurrences as visits from the Spirit or the Holy Ghost, and in the original confessions, Nat Turner uses the term Spirit throughout.

Last week-only five months late-the Portuguese public was told that the accused murderer of Martin Luther King had been hiding out in Lisbon for nine days in May. Newspapers were being bought in record numbers just for the unaccustomed...

...Ghost. Montedison's stagnation is not the only reason that ENI and I.R.I, moved in. Another factor was last May's general elections, which resulted in a shift to the left and new government pressures for greater program-mazione, or central economic planning. What promoted the move more than anything else was a feud between Montedison's Valerio and Eugenio Cefis, 47, boss of ENI. Cefis was convinced that Italian firms, in order to fare better in foreign markets, had to "coordinate" their sales abroad in a kind of cartel arrangement.
