...Grace O. Adkins of South Norwalk, Conn.; Mari Jane DeCosta of Highland Park, III.; Anna Fellner of New Haven, Conn.; Faith Howard of Westmount, Quebec; and Ellen Franzen, Deirdre Hubbard, and Sheila LaFarge, all of New York City. Also Amy Mims, of Chicago, III.; Carol S. Powers of Swampscott, Mass.; Virginia Rhinelander of Stanford, Calif.; Sallyann A. Sack of Cleveland, Ohio; and Judith Schultz of Huntington Valley, Penn...
Therefore, argue Morrison and Gold, conditions in earthly laboratories may be too special to trust. Gravitation might act differently if more antimatter were around. A sample of antimatter, for instance, might retain its inertial mass but be repelled instead of attracted by the earth's gravitational field. Its weight would be less than nothing; it would actually tend to lift itself. In an "anti-galaxy," a bit of ordinary matter would be repelled in the same...
...strongest dailies could not give advertisers all the space they needed, thus, in effect, subsidizing smaller and weaker papers that had space to spare. With the end of newsprint restrictions.

One of the most appealing things in his book is his shyly proud report that his correspondence (including a postcard from Mecca) is filed in the special-collections division of the University of Southern California's library, a mass of 10,000 items which must comprise the biggest pile of profound piffle since Greenwich Village's Harvardman Joe Gould compiled his 10 million-word Oral History of Our Time...
