...mother and son he has clearly sought to probe one of the most difficult and tangled of human relationships. That he has not done so seems due partly to method and partly to mood. The dancer's role, whatever its own interest or its catalyst value, somehow obstructs the son and mother story and keeps it from breathing. Into a short play, Inge has further tossed comedy bits involving theater types and neighbor boys, and a farcical bed-hopping drunk scene. As a result, mother and son never get deeply probed, never really come to grips. Something essential, whether...
...present rate of flow, all the hydrogen should have been drained from the nucleus in a mere 10 million to 100 million years, which is only a tiny part of the life span of a galaxy. Since the nucleus is not drained, its hydrogen must be replenished somehow. Rougoor and Oort suggest that the replenishing hydrogen may come from the corona of thinly scattered hydrogen atoms that surrounds the whole galaxy like a huge spherical cocoon 80,000 light-years wide, working its way into the spinning disk at the top and bottom...

In 1950, for example, having left the A.P. and gone to the Chicago Sun-Times, Brennan got hold of the secret transcripts of the testimony before the Kefauver crime-investigating Senate committee made by the then Democratic candidate for Cook County sheriff. (Brennan was indicted for impersonating a federal employee, but the charges against him were dropped.) The testimony, as printed in the Sun-Times, showing that from gambling the candidate had become...
