Corresponding Flashes. Although the target star seemed to be shining steadily, the astronomers fed its light into an electronic device that made 12,000 separate light-intensity measurements every second. They quickly discovered that the starlight increased to a peak about 30 times per second, a variation too rapid to be detected by the human eye. The flashes corresponded exactly to the radio pulses from the Crab pulsar, strongly suggesting that the target was indeed the pulsar. Unlike an earlier and apparently erroneous sighting of a flashing pulsar (TIME, May 31), this discovery was confirmed by the McDonald Observatory...
McMillian, currently tied for second in League scoring with a 19.5 points per game average, also excells on defense. In the Lion's most recent outing, against Yale, he held Eli captain Thatcher Shellby scoreless as Columbia went on to a 69-48 romp. McMillian is also the Lion's top rebounder, clearing the boards 137 times in their first 14 games...

...Commission's lassitude is erected by their "voluntary enforcement" policy. The Wheeler-Lea Act of 1938 granted the F.T.C. authority to issue "cease and desist" orders, which become effective after 60 days if not challenged in Federal court. Any subsequent violation of the order then incurs up to $5000 per day in civil penalties. Yet the F.T.C. insists upon its preference for "voluntary enforcement" of Commission recommendations. This is the only method consonant with the chairman's repeated declaration of his faith in the wide honesty of American business. In place of compulsive cease and desist orders, the F.T.C. more...
