What next? In light of Reagan's bafflement about the existence of a national problem he has done so much to exacerbate, it seems likely that he will accept the fabrications of unreconstructed racists like George Graham. Robert Greenstein, director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, says the Hunger Task Force is about to propose as much as $1 billion in cuts in food assistance over the next few years...
Princeton Political Scientist Fred Greenstein has spent several years establishing the case in a scholarly way. Eisenhower, says Greenstein, was an extraordinarily intelligent, experienced and sophisticated President who worked hard, but deliberately concealed much of his effort. "Hidden-hand leadership," says Greenstein, permitted Eisenhower to maintain his own dignified aura and personal authority with the nation (a moral authority never even approximately regained by his successors), while actively managing his presidency. Even those garbled answers at press conferences, Greenstein thinks, were a stratagem meant to conceal, soothe and deflect. Once, when Hagerty advised Ike to refuse to answer any questions...
First identified in the 1960s, the enigmatic, starlike objects called quasars are as baffling today as they were more than a decade ago when Astronomer Jesse Greenstein scribbled his poetic plaint on a Caltech blackboard. What sets quasars apart from most other celestial objects is that the light they emit is shifted drastically toward the red, or low-frequency, end of the spectrum. Just as a train whistle's lowered pitch indicates that it is moving away from the listener, so the quasars' light suggests that they are receding from the earth at tremendous speeds-some approaching...
DIED. Joseph L. Greenstein, 84, diminutive (5 ft. 4 in.), Polish-born strong man billed as "the Mighty Atom"; in Brooklyn. Greenstein, who ran away from home at 15 to become a professional wrestler, settled in the U.S. in 1911 and gained vaudeville renown for feats like biting iron chains in half...
Whichever scenario is correct, says Astrophysicist Greenstein, "I find a certain pleasure and honor in belonging to the universe of stars, of these events that have created the materials of which the earth and I are made." It is a sentiment many can echo. The final consolation has always been, as humanity looking upward measured its own finiteness against the infinity of the stars, that it is better to have been for a season, even a moment, than not to have been at all. The stars thus are no less symbols in their newly understood mortality than they were, seemingly...
