...opposing explanation, the "steady-state" theory, holds that matter is being created continuously in the form of hydrogen atoms that appear in space. Little by little, the newborn matter clumps together, forming galaxies that repel each other and move apart. As they grow old and separate, new galaxies form in the widening gaps between them. The steady-state universe has no center or outer boundary. It had no beginning and will have...
...Lamed-Vov, the Just man. According to this legend, "the world reposes upon thirty-six Just Men, indistinguishable from simple mortals; often they are unaware of their situation. But if just one of them were lacking, the sufferings of mankind would poison even the souls of the newborn... For the Lamed-Vov are the hearts of the world multiplied, and into them, as into one receptacle, pour all our griefs." The descendents of Rabbi Yom Tov Levy, martyred in 1185, are granted the grace of one Lamed-Vov in every generation, and Ernie Levy is the last Just...
...bearded Surgeon Petrucci, 38, and his coworkers, Drs. Laura de Pauli and Raffaele Bernabeo, artificial insemination started as a sideline. They began growing test-tube human embryos three years ago, in a tiny lab behind Petrucci's Bologna office, to get newborn cells for experiments in antibody response to transplanted tissue.

Berman actually went to Chicago's Goodman Theater acting school-and did not change his name. Nathan Berman now drives a truck in Chicago (as does Shelley's brother Ronald in Los Angeles), although Shelley sends him enough money "to live like any other...
Pepe (G.S.-Posa Films; Columbia). Cantinflas, the 49-year-old son of a Mexican mail carrier, who in Charlie Chaplin's opinion has become "the world's greatest comedian," is a shy little ragamuffin with wide-apart innocent eyes like a newborn burro's, a mouth like a long, amusing sentence, and a silly little mustache that sets it off in tiny, hairy quotation marks. From the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego he is almost as popular as orange soda, and in Mexico he is the greatest national hero since Pancho Villa. His movies make millions...
