Pahnke and Richards admit that some religious leaders disapprove of entering the "holy ground of the unconscious" with the use of psychedelic drugs, "protesting against the exploration of 'inner space' as they have campaigned against the exploration of outer space." Nonetheless, they conclude that the answer is not suppression of drug-assisted mysticism but "informed education and an expanded program of research...
PHILADELPHIA, HERE I COME! Irish Playwright Brian Friel, knowing that every man is his own toughest critic and most devoted fan, uses two actors to play the inner and outer selves of a youth caught between nostalgia and expectations before leaving for America...
Sinology to Space. Under the hard-boiled intelligence of Engineer Collbohm, a top War Department consultant during World War II, Rand has attracted a staff of nearly 1,200-including ranking authorities on subjects ranging from Sinology to outer space. The organization's first report in 1946 was a carefully reasoned study that demonstrated the feasibility of employing spaceships in weather forecasting and military reconnaissance. In June 1957, Rand warned the Air Force that the Russians would orbit their first satellite around Sept. 17, 1957. Sputnik went up on Oct. 4 of that year...
Mongolian Monitor. L'Équipe (meaning "team") is the world's finest sports newspaper.

...supernova's own gigantic size is its undoing. Astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar calculated that a star whose mass is greater than 1.44 times the sun's mass cannot follow normal stellar evolution. Over a few million years, burning hydrogen on the outer layers of such a star produces more and more helium at its core. The doomed star's interior shrinks rapidly; and the density of its core increases. As temperatures rise in the contracting core, the collected helium is converted into successively heavier elements, such as iron and gold, which crowd the lighter elements outward...
