...village notables had planned to organize a committee to re-elect the President. "But we didn't get around to it," said the head teacher, Nikolai Lychev. Anyway, he added, the regional Yeltsin campaign headquarters in Arkhangel'sk did not send any materials till the day before the vote. By then, campaigning was prohibited. Yeltsin won Sogra and the surrounding villages anyway. He received 538 votes; Zyuganov came in second with 378, followed by General Alexander Lebed with 262 and Vladimir Zhirinovsky a distant fourth...

...with the supernova. Though Sanduleak was suspected, some astronomers, like Harvard's Robert Kirshner, at first thought that satellite data on the LMC showed the star still existed after the blast and thus could not have been the progenitor. Later other scientists examining the same evidence failed to locate SK-69 202. Admitted Kirshner last week: "It was that star that blew up -- no matter what you've heard elsewhere . . . from me." His colleagues guffawed...
...would Sanduleak, a blue supergiant, a star presumably in mid-life, collapse so violently? According to theory, only aging red supergiants, whose outer gaseous layers had turned from blue to red as they expanded and cooled, spawned this type of supernova. One hypothesis: SK-69 202, like other stars in the LMC, contained relatively little metal, which theorists now think may keep the outer shell of even older stars from expanding fully, thus making it glow blue rather than red as it plunged toward its thermonuclear crisis. Said University of Chicago Astrophysicist David Schramm: "It's clear that while...
