...with a more than ample voice and a gaudy spectrum of moods. She can be broadly comic in How High the Moon, exuberant in No Moon at All, anguished in Morning, Noon or Night.

Professor Gold knew that gas in interplanetary space is too thin to carry ordinary shock waves, which propagate by gas molecules bumping against each other. But solar shock waves, he argued, are different. They are caused by solar magnetic fields expanding suddenly into space and pushing ionized gas ahead of them. "It is a bit like...
These are the reasons advanced by the Women's Education Association for the union of the Annex and the University and they are certainly sound and important. It would be difficult to state just how such a union would be viewed by undergraduates.

"I should like to see all schools flying the national colors." He also said: "Order is heaven's first law and man's last and to restore it in a few spots of earth takes greater exercise of divine power than to create a million worlds...
