The curvature is too slight to be detected on earth or even in the enormous sphere, 500 million light-years in radius, penetrated by the 100-inch telescope. But theory hints that doubling the radius to the billion-light-year radius of the 200-inch may show up the curvature...

Dr. Sudan stayed there until a little more than a year ago, as the only doctor to 4,000 people in an 80-mile radius. Then, ailing himself, he moved to Denver...

What started out at that point an attempt to "see Boston" through tours of radio stations and industrial plants soon took on larger proportions. Marcus figured the gang would barely escape ecstasy at the prospect of looking over New York City. With friend Norbert Jacker '49 in the driver...
