...high wire. This is a mistake. There is great tension, and it comes from scarcity. The mountains around Tucson, the "astronomy capital of the world," may bristle with telescopes, but they are mighty rare in the remainder of the world. There are about 500 American astronomers who publish at least one scholarly paper a year; there are only eight telescopes large enough to see the extremely faint and faraway objects of interest to many of them...
...Reuters, insisting that its aspirin story was based on independent reporting and not the Journal's article, vowed not to adhere to the embargo during its suspension. "When we have access to a copy of the Journal, we'll treat it as we do all other news sources and publish on merit," said Desmond Maberley, executive editor of Reuters in North America.

Says he: "As far as I am concerned, Kurt Waldheim's role on Mount Kozara has been proved." Plenca has turned over his Waldheim documents to Yugoslav Journalist Danko Vasovic, who plans to publish them in the spring. But Vasovic apparently could not wait to spread the news. Last week he sold the publication rights for the controversial telegram and other materials...
...appealing and sympathetic work. Yet each author provides the same service: turning the reader back to the damned youth who wrote, "Since all my Vices magnify'd are here,/ She cannot paint me worse than I appear,/ When raving in the Lunacy of ink,/ I catch the Pen and publish what I think." A ghostly presence hovers over both books, and the sound it emits is the ringing echo of the last laugh...
