...conclusion is that stars of different spectral classes cannot have evolved one from another, but must have been created simultaneously, and that their age is too short for any appreciable evolution having taken place. Finally, the observed recession of spiral nebulae, reflecting the phenomenon of the expanding universe, indicates a possible age of the extragalactic universe of a few thousand million years only. From all these facts we infer that probably the age of our universe does not differ very much from the age of the solar system, and that not very much more than 3000 million years have elapsed...
...revelations from the Bruce plates include the faint ninth satellite of Saturn, Phoebe, numerous characteristics of the Magellanic Clouds, the discovery in them of 2000 variables and the "Period Luminosity" relation (one of the most efficient measuring tapes for the scale of the universe). At least 30,000 spiral nebulse have also been located by means of the Bruce Telescope...

Applications to share the $2,000,000,000 credit fund, with which the Administration hopes to check the downward spiral of deflation, poured into the Treasury offices.

If it fails, historians may well look back upon 1932 with a shudder. In prospect, however, was not the wind of wild printing-press inflation which afflicted Germany and France but rather a rescue of credit from its enemy, deflation. Success required large plans, bold...
...confined to the highland forest areas of Kenya Colony. They have more massive horns than the West African race and the hide has a richer and brighter rufus color. The most characteristic things about these animals are the white cross stripes on the hide and the smooth, open, spiral form of the horns...
