...stifle free press if and when TV becomes less obtrusive. Justice John M. Harlan cast the fifth vote to make a majority, but he urged the court to "proceed step by step in this unplowed field." If the next TV appeal involves different facts, Harlan implied, he may well shift his vote and convert the minority into the majority...
Last week Daniell had good news: the Bank of England cut its interest rate from a forbidding 7% , which had pre vailed since last November's pound cri sis, to 6% . While the lower rate will tempt some international speculators to shift their money out of British banks, the government hopes that it will also stimulate the economy sufficiently to at tract other deposits.

Like so much in 329 execution does not equal idea; the picture sequences are unfocused, the text uninspired. As the author writes...
...come from? Searching for answers, Dr. Schmidt and his colleagues pored over spectrograms which showed quasar light separated into its various wave lengths. They knew that the most distant fast-moving bodies should show spectrogram lines of far ultraviolet light whose waves had been lengthened so much in their shift toward the red that they would appear in that part of the spectrum where the much longer waves of visible light are normally found. So they catalogued all possible kinds of ultraviolet that might conceivably come from a quasar and looked for characteristic patterns in their faint spectrograms. At last...
