What Frommer says has the ring of solid silver. His Europe on $5 a Day outsells Fielding's Super-Economy Guide by about two to one, and one reason surely is the Fielding book's patronizing attitude toward low-budget travel. "What about the bargain-basement Continent of $1 rooms, 500 meals and 250 drinks?" reads the introduction. "Yes, you can ferret out those places?just as the visitor to New York City can ferret out a bed along the Bowery's Skid Row and a 250 meal at a soup kitchen. But you are an American."

Somewhat to the right of center, Stewart has a solid, if not brilliant reputation. The two new openings might be filled by Henry Friendly, a judge on the 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals, Harvard's Paul Freund, noted civil libertarian and authority on the Supreme Court, or Warren Burger, formerly an Eisenhower Assistant Attorney General and now a judge on the District...
...magnetic fields caused by the sun's uneven rate of rotation; for still-unknown reasons, the equatorial regions rotate around the solar axis every 25 days, regions at higher latitudes every 33 days. This strange phenomenon is possible because the sun is a gaseous rather than a solid body...
