...opposing explanation, the "steady-state" theory, holds that matter is being created continuously in the form of hydrogen atoms that appear in space. Little by little, the newborn matter clumps together, forming galaxies that repel each other and move apart. As they grow old and separate, new galaxies form in the widening gaps between them. The steady-state universe has no center or outer boundary. It had no beginning and will have...
...western New York State's Triple Cities of Endicott, Binghamton and Johnson City last week, residents poured into a temporary office with their pledges of help to repel an invader. A 13-year-old schoolboy offered $142 saved from his newspaper route. A local dairy put up $100,000. A Boy Scout troop signed up for $150. A Greek Orthodox church proffered $3,000. A medical group pledged $25,000. Endicott's Post 82 of the American Legion pledged $50,000, offering to take "the plaster off the walls and sell the post home" if more was needed...

That is where "defense support" assistance--which provides capital and soldier-trainers rather than heavy weapons--can be most useful for local defense, and the Pentagon could well sacrifice some of the military aid budget...
...principle behind the bubble chamber is that high-energy charged particles (electrons, protons, mesons, etc.) ionize materials that they pass through by knocking electrons off atoms. Glaser reasoned that these ions should repel one another, and that if they are formed in a liquid that is about to start boiling, they should show as lines of rapidly growing bubbles along the tracks of the particles. This is just what happens when a bubble chamber is made and manipulated in precisely the right way, which is not easy...
...effort of the religious issue are the two great in ponderables of this campaign. Together, they could well stem the Kennedy tide that new paper men around the country have been porting. On the other hand, the religious issue cuts both ways, and if anti-Catholic as managers to repel enough Catholics as anti-bigots, that plus the general majority superior organizational strength which Democrats enjoy could be enough to put Kennedy over...
