...nothing that gives Morrow or any other person claim to another person's hard-earned money or time. And I have never seen anything more narcissistic than a mouth-flapping, duty-oriented politician or a flowing-robed, self-sacrificing religious potentate.

Next day Hua was treated to an outpouring of warmth and hospitality the likes of which Belgrade had not seen in many years. An estimated 400,000 people, many waving little red Chinese flags, cheered his motorcade through city streets and cascaded him with carnations.

Zwicky and Baade felt sure that the force of such a gravitational collapse and explosion could not only spray material far off into the heavens, but also actually crush the very atoms in the core of a star. Orbiting electrons would...

Moreover, since Lassie Come Home was released in 1943, there have been eight sequels, not to mention the TV series that ended only five years ago. Most people in Hollywood thought the public had seen enough of that particular collie...
