Ralph Davidson, 39, was born in Santa Fe, N. Mex., and grew up in Los Angeles, graduating with an A.B. in international relations from Stanford University in 1950.

...latest addition to quasar knowledge was obtained by instruments carried aboard an Aerobee rocket shot from White Sands, N. Mex., in May.
