...chosen date. This spot will help you determine the comet's position relative to familiar groups of stars. But the time of day for observing Halley's and the direction in which to look will vary. This week, for example, observers in the northern hemisphere should search the southwestern sky during the evening. The best view is on clear, moonless nights, far from city lights...
Accordingly, it was in an atmosphere of considerable tension that some 4,500 delegates, parliamentarians, party functionaries, journalists and foreign observers gathered in the southwestern city of Toulouse last week for the Socialists' biennial congress.

Fragmentary, half-perceived scenes reveal that most of the outward facts that can be learned about this little group are untrue. Their names, their social stations, their relationships to one another are shifting masks in a cryptic performance. They are surely bound together in a more ominous enterprise than they pretend, yet only one of them seems to know their destination. After a night at an inn, they ride on. Within...
