...theorized that Jupiter's radio waves do not come from the atmosphere at all but from a vast Jovian version of the double doughnut of Van Allen radiation that surrounds the earth. Ionized particles from the sun zigzagging back and forth in Jupiter's magnetic field must be sending out "synchrotron radiation" like the circling particles in a synchrotron. The theory alerts future space explorers to steer well clear of Jupiter. If their ship should cruise too close, they might be fried by Van Allen radiation 100 times as strong as that surrounding earth...
...rounded skull and oval eyes; sister Subhadra is only 5 ft. high, with a yellow, pinched face that gives her a hungry look. Making a new set of idols to replace the worn-out trio at least once every 25 years is a tricky business. First a neem tree must be found, in which no bird is nesting, and on which no other tree has cast a shadow. It must be marked beneath its bark with the shape of a conch shell and a wheel; holes must be found beneath it to show that snakes have lived there. When...
...Steel's Roger Blough (rhymes with now) is perhaps the foremost advocate of a new look in U.S. labor-management relations.

Looking over the whole economy, Blough knows that when it comes to inflation, foreign competition and other new factors in the economy, labor and management are in the same boat; what hurts...
...longer merely a domestic problem, but one that affects the whole U.S. position in world steel. This year the U.S. industry has received a warning that it cannot isolate itself from the realities of world steel without suffering the consequences. If it does not heed the warning, it must pay the consequences in smaller sales and, eventually, in fewer jobs...
...opiate of the masses. An earlier product of his apostasy is Anatomy of a Moral, 18 casual essays written for two of Belgrade's leading journals when Djilas was still the party's Red-haired boy. The speculations begin innocently enough: a yawningly orthodor insistence that Yugoslavia must wiggle between the traps of Stalinist "bureaucratism" and "decadent" Western capitalism. But as the articles progress. Djilas begins to weaken in the marrow of his own faith; complaint turns to critique as he demands such subversive luxuries as free speech and free elections, equality of all before...
