...childless; the rest have some 500,000 children, two-thirds of them under the age of ten. More than 6,000,000 Americans are now divorced or separated, and divorce seems to breed divorce: probably half of all divorced Americans are the children of divorced parents. Divorce or separation occur most among the poor, the least educated and Negroes, least among the affluent (who usually get most of the publicity), the well-educated and couples with three or more children.

To facilitate that assessment, the United States should state now that it would be willing to accept the NLF as an equal party in negotiations and as a participant in any elections to determine the final political solution.

...predict with certainty what will occur when 40 Eridani-A moves in front of X, but the distant event will give scientists a rare opportunity to test an equally far-out and still unproven deduction from Albert Einstein's theories of relativity. Instead of simply blocking the light from a distant star that it is eclipsing, Einstein predicted, the nearer star would create a lens-like effect that would actually intensify the image of the eclipsed star, increasing its brightness perhaps more than 1,000 times. The phenomenon would be caused by the closer star's strong gravitational...
