...universe exploding-expanding swiftly into the uttermost reaches of space? Scientists have been puzzling over the startling speculation ever since the 1920s, when Mount Wilson Astronomers Edwin Hubble and Milton Humason discovered that the glow from distant galaxies was of a longer wave length than normal. Since light from a receding source shifts toward the red (long wave length) end of the spectrum, the Hubble-Humason observations seemed to suggest that far-out galaxies are all speeding away from the earth and from each other...
...raffish oases have names like the 4 Ever Amber Tap, Nora's Gold Nugget, Augie's Rainbow, Lovely Girls, and Joan's French Casino. The loudest and most profane action is at Joan's, a small, chairless place cheered chiefly by the muted glow of the pinball machines.

For some reason, while a man who is superb in one field does not necessarily have a really ineluctable image...
...into sobs. Touchingly needful of his wife, who refuses to choose between the two men, the dentist puts an unconventional proposal to the lover: a kind of manger à trois, dinner together every week plus adulterous vacation privileges during dentists' conventions. To the wife's almost indecent glow of relief, the outmaneuvered lover agrees to play...
