Nearer to earth, IRAS identified at least five new comets and spotted a "miniplanet" only 1.2 miles in diameter, possibly the cadaver of a comet, circling within the orbit of the innermost planet, Mercury. IRAS also uncovered some bands of fine dust spread over 100 million miles in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The dust may be the debris of collisions between asteroids...
...played only on 18th century instruments is based on a faulty assumption: that there are two homogeneous and isolated categories of musical instruments, period and modern. Instruments have always changed because musicians want the best ones they can find. This constant search for refinement is part of the innermost soul of living music...
...debris, consisting of dust and gases, out of which all stars as well as their families of planets are apparently formed. IRAS'S sensors indicated that the temperature of this free-floating matter was a chilly -300° F, about the same as that of Saturn's innermost rings, which are made of small chunks of matter. Further calculations showed that individual particles in the mass surrounding Vega had to be at least the size of buckshot; as the astronomers noted, anything smaller would already have been drawn into Vega by its powerful gravity. Only larger clumps-accumulations...
...comment was more than just a causal reaction. Emersed in the heat of the battle, Boyum's innermost feelings came to the surface when he blurted them out. The sophomore didn't say how badly he wanted to beat Zaff, he didn't say how much he would have like to have made the shot he had just missed. He didn't even berate himself for paying lousy, as so many of us do in competition. Instead, he said how much...
...such an elaborate masterpiece of irony (by taping himself, Nixon provided virtually all the evidence that destroyed his presidency) that too many people forget its clearest lesson. The deepest significance of Watergate, the only important meaning to be extracted from all of that wreckage and squalor, penetrates to the innermost American idea. To say, as many Americans did after Watergate, that the "system works" is only partly true: the constitutional system, in this case, with a lot of luck, did work. The important lesson that Watergate established is that no President is above the law. It is a banality...
