...first hint of screened information was suggested by the discrepancy between the Department's official explanations for denying tenure to radical economist Samuel S. Bowles and the minutes of the Department's closed meeting at which the decision was made...
...Radio Astronomer Ronald Bracewell of Stanford University offered a tantalizing hint. Speculating about the possibility of life elsewhere in the galaxy, he wrote in Nature that an advanced civilization might not necessarily use long-range radio signals to communicate with other intelligent beings. Such signals would be considerably weakened over interstellar distances. Instead, Bracewell said, those far-off beings might employ robot space probes as their message bearers. Sent to a promising nearby star, such a vehicle could swing into an orbit around it at approximately the right distance to encounter a planet with life-supporting temperatures. If it picked...
Lost.

He sang in more than 1,000 Wagnerian performances-more than three times the total of any other singer-with no hint of diminution of the robust tenor that could swoop from a splendorous high to a deep, resonant...
