...showers. Not known for its flowers. Not busting out all over. Not. There is no August Song, and if there were one, it would be sung by Yma Sumac in an altitudinous register no one could hear but a dozing dog, who would cock not an ear, stir not a bone. Not. These are dog days, after all, in which the mind, suddenly deserted, goes nuts and nowhere...
Discussed at a meeting of state party chairmen in Orlando two weeks ago, the poll has created a stir. Said one party official: "We've got to find a way to communicate better with the middle class." Does the rebuff of the fairness issue mean that the Democrats will abandon their traditional commitment to helping the disadvantaged? "The notion of fairness is not being rejected," D.N.C.

The obviously fit mother of three is posed in a variety of revealing swimsuits, accompanied by copy that...
...proposed in 1971 by Schwarz and France's Andre Neveu to explain the workings of the strong force. Schwarz later refined the theory with another Frenchman, Joël Scherk, recognizing that it was potentially the ultimate Theory of Everything. But the enhanced theory initially failed to cause a stir. "No one ever accused us being crackpots," says Schwarz, "but our work was ignored." In 1979 Schwarz began working with Michael Green, and by 1984 the two were able to demonstrate on paper that their string theory was free of anomalies besetting other unified theories that included gravity. That proof finally...
