...layer is a deathly cold -207° F. Its shroud is believed by some to conceal an ice layer 17,000 miles thick. But last week, writing in Radiation Research Magazine, a University of California astronomer raised the possibility that Jupiter's cloud cover may conceal-and even nourish-rude forms of life...
...vast love of Russia and all Russians, Red or White, workers or shirkers. When an anti-Communist is shot dead, a Communist leader muses. "He was a brave fellow, he didn't know what fear was." A captured White officer goes off to execution with a theatrical nourish denied the grubby Red policemen he killed. Even the hussy, Lukeria, though she has debauched several commissars and given aid to the Whites, does not come to the expected bad end.

Ignominious Tow. The conference did not begin with the kind of nourish the principals hoped for.

Upshot: there are probably so many different strains of cold viruses that a single vaccine is as far away as ever...
Insights-and irreverence-are the daily Casbah pattern. The point is to give outstanding scholars a free year (at their regular salaries), and let them nourish one another "in the raw." Begun five years ago with a Ford Foundation grant, the Casbah (grants to date: $10.3 million) was built near Stanford University because scholars liked the isolation and their wives liked the weather. Already 233 fellows have passed through, representing 52 institutions and eleven foreign countries. Director Ralph Tyler, onetime dean of social sciences at the University of Chicago, has no trouble recruiting. His fat waiting list now includes...
