...Crimson learned that research by John P. Huchra, lecturer in Astronomy and a staff member of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and two other scientists indicated that the universe is significantly younger than previously believed...
...looks as if Washington is in for another McCarthy era. "I'm taking the kids' back to the Smithsonian later this month," says Frances Bergen, referring to her late husband Edgar Bergen's famous splinter group, Charlie McCarthy, Mortimer Snerd and Effie Klinker. The treesome threesome will star at the Smithsonian's puppet exhibit opening in June.

...Western campaigns is among the items of sartorial memorabilia stashed away in the "nation's attic," along with the coat Admiral Robert Peary took to the North Pole and the top hat Abraham Lincoln wore to Ford's Theater on the night he was assassinated.

In their January issues, the Smithsonian, Scientific American and National Geographic all appeared with cover photos showing a volcano erupting on Jupiter's moon lo. Though having look-alike covers is an editor's nightmare that all too frequently comes true, the science magazines' trifecta was an interplanetary long shot. The picture is a computer composite of images radioed to earth by Voyager 1 last March. The three monthlies (total circ...
