...disordered universe was not the cosmologist's all-embracing universe but the Large Magellanic Cloud, nearest galaxy to the Milky Way. With a microphotometer, a special camera and an able staff, he found in the Cloud more than 500 new variable stars and enough star clusters in its neighborhood to make its diameter seem 20,000 light years, double the previous estimate. His present objective is to locate, by measuring the amount of cosmic material in different directions and at different distances, the centre of the all-embracing universe - if such a centre exists...

So far this season there have been practically no cancellations...
...sick individual is utterly unable to leave his home, a district nurse or doctor will visit him. Otherwise, every patient must go to his neighborhood dispensary where he is given a thorough medical inspection. If he needs special attention, he is sent to a central polyclinic or to a general or special hospital. Astonishing is ''the vast provision of convalescent home and sanatorium accommodation, probably larger in proportion to population than in any other civilized country."
