...Palomar telescope can photograph swarms of galaxies out at the limit of its vision, but most of them look like blurry blobs, and they are much too faint for their spectra to be photographed. Only exploding galaxies 100 times brighter than normal give such meaningful information about what was happening billions of years ago in the depths of space. A dozen such galaxies have been found so far, and astronomers are confident that many more can be found by the kind of radio scouting that stirred up interest in 3C-147. The spectrum of their ancient light may tell whether...
...interesting to note that in the photograph of Kwame Nkrumah he is holding aloft an egg. This is one of his favorite symbols, "the egg of power." If one holds it too lightly, it will drop and smash; if one holds it too hard, it will break in one's hand. Osagyefo, of course, says that he knows exactly how to hold...
This Ripleyesque state of affairs was not, alas, an act of God. A Times censor, presumably convinced that bare belly-buttons are titillating in Los Angeles, painted the offending detail out of the photograph. Surely, censorship in California has reached the end of its umbilical cord...
...laborious, costly and slow, and not yet adaptable to highspeed printing. Merely to pose the static picture in last week's Look took two full days of work with a one-ton, cubical camera as complicated as an electronic computer. Five additional weeks were required to engrave the photograph, print it some 7,000,000 times on a sheet-fed offset press and then pour on and properly shape the clear plastic film that covers the picture with what amounts to a collection of lenses. The plastic lenses are so arranged that the viewer's left eye sees...
...scenes center around their allies, cohorts, and lieutenants. Ever present beside McCarthy, sitting close at his elbow and whispering constantly in his ear, is one of the strangest participants, Roy M. Cohn. In one scene Counsel Welch is cross-examining one of McCarthy's assistants about where a "doctored" photograph which McCarthy introduced as evidence came from. Welch inquires sarcastically if a "pixie" brought it in, and Cohn leans over to whisper something in McCarthy...
