Not only did HEAO-2 attain a nearly letter-perfect orbit, but in its first five months the X-ray observatory has returned a wealth of previously unobtainable photos and data, found a probable answer to one of the universe's most difficult questions and raised numerous new ones...

A little subterfuge results in a new meeting and a marriage-now past its 20th year. By today's matrimonial...
