This week's Science story explores the vibrations in inner as well as outer space as Comet Kohoutek enters earth's solar system. "This is a sociohysteric happening," notes Associate Editor Frederic Golden, who wrote the story. "Astronomers are running around trying to get their equipment ready for observations, and the rest of us are excited by dramatic notions of what comets mean, especially during times of crisis." A former correspondent and editor for the Associated Press, Golden began writing science stories for TIME in the same way that Czech-born Astronomer Lubos Kohoutek discovered his celestial namesake...
Others of a mystical bent feel less threatened by the comet, particularly because of its coincidence with Christmas. "I do not mean to suggest that another Christ will be born," wrote James Grayson Bolen, editor and publisher of the magazine Psychic, "but rather that an inner birth of Christ-like consciousness might occur."

Such clouds may become Jovian in proportions, with a diameter of more than 100,000 miles, though they are very thinly dispersed. In 1969 and 1970, NASA'S Orbiting Astronomical Observatory (OAO-2) discovered that the coma of comets is surrounded by a still larger ball of wispy hydrogen that may far exceed the sun's diameter of 860,000 miles...
Though her usually sunny disposition makes her probably the most universally well-liked and respected person in the Nixon inner staff, she has a temper. She has flashed it in Judge Sirica's courtroom, and against politicians and journalists who criticized Nixon. During a recent Nixon press conference that she watched on television in her apartment, she sprang out of her chair and shouted epithets at the on-screen newsmen whose questions she considered impertinent. As the Watergate drama unfolds, a major question is just what might be the limits of the secretary's loyalty to her boss of nearly...
...nature at Shikoku is to turn incessantly erotic." Each tune he sculpts a male image, he counters it by making something female, like a small piece that started as an image of growth inspired by the classical Japanese temple gate and ended as a powerful straddle of procreation called Inner Space...
