...mass is 96% of the sun's, yet it gives 400 times less light. At first they thought that it was an average, sun-sized star that gives less light because of low temperature. But by 1915 astronomers were able to prove that its surface is really hotter than the sun's and gives three times as much light per square inch. If a star's surface is bright but the star as a whole gives off little light, then the only possible conclusion is that the star must be small. The Companion turned...
Cash in Advance. With Elvis just discharged from the Army and hotter than a radioactive yam-his new record, Stuck on You, is boiling with sales, and shooting began last week on his new movie, G.I.

If Johnson is not the Democratic nominee (and the odds as of now are against him), the civil rights issue may be pretty well neutralized. Nixon has spoken out forthrightly for civil rights progress, says that the goal is "equality of opportunity for all Americans." Humphrey, Kennedy and Symington all have unspotted voting records on civil rights. All three Senators (and Johnson too) back...
