...rush to gambling stocks is not likely to slow soon. Already negotiating or planning to open casinos in Atlantic City are Caesars World, Playboy Enterprises and Bob Guccione, owner of Penthouse. Despite strong suspicions, so far unproved, of underworld ties to the gambling industry, other states are following New Jersey's lead.

For one thing, proof of the existence of black holes would clear away some of the mystery about both the evolution and the fate of the universe. Scientists generally agree that the universe is expanding, that its galaxies are still rushing outward from the original Big Bang. But they are uncertain about whether the expansion will continue forever. True, gravitational attraction among the galaxies is slowing the outward rush, but unless there is sufficient mass in the universe, the expansion will never completely halt...
