...Astronomer Joseph S. Miller, using the Lick Observatory's powerful 120-in. (3-meter) telescope near San Jose, Calif., has produced powerful new evidence to support the "distant" quasar argument. Expanding on earlier work at the Hale Observatories by Beverley Oke and James Gunn with the 200-in. (5-meter) Palomar telescope, he and two colleagues studied one of the so-called BL Lacertae objects, which until the late 1960s were thought to be ordinary variable stars, but now are known to resemble quasars...
...procedure suffered an embarrassment in September when Carter announced the nomination of Monroe McKay, 49, a Brigham Young University law professor, for a Utah-allotted vacancy on the Tenth Circuit Court. McKay's brother is Representative Gunn McKay, a Democrat close to House Speaker Tip O'Neill. The nominating panel had McKay on its list, but a poll of the Utah State Bar Commission had ranked Salt Lake City Attorney David Watkiss al the top.

Gunn sees a danger for pure science fiction as mainstream writers like Anthony Burgess. Herman work and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. turn to the themes and concepts" of science fiction. To Gunn, such writers represent a literary culture that is hostile to science fiction with its rational, pragmatic view of the universe. The New Wave of science...
Reverse Racism. Need one add that Playwright Gunn is not at all satisfied to make this a human fallibility? He persists in what has become for some an article of faith and fallacy- that some whitey somewhere is prostituting the black brothers for gain. Just to spell it out in the corniest imaginable terms, Playwright Gunn has Alexander's wife sue for a contract with a white homosexual film producer (Paul-David Rich ards), and she has to kneel on the floor to pick up the largesse he languidly strews in the form of $1,000 bills. Meanwhile...
