Some weeks ago Dr. Otto Hahn of Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute donned his work clothes, walked into his laboratory to perform a physical experiment. With a stream of neutrons (obtainable by subjecting a pinch of beryllium to the emanations of the radioactive gas radon) he bombarded a bit of uranium. While the routine little experiment proceeded all was peace and quiet in the laboratory. There was no crash of thunder, no flash of cataclysmic lightning...
While Finnegan, the most successful fundraiser of the eight candidates, can afford a steady stream of television advertisements, the less affluent contenders are planning different strategies for the upcoming two weeks...

Officials of Prime Minister Robert Mugabe's government have been railing against the Western press for months, charging that a steady stream of critical reports that describe increasing authoritarianism, economic decline and bloody intertribal feuding in Zimbabwe were distortions of the truth.

At a meeting with the five other "frontline" black African nations that confront South Africa,* Zimbabwe won approval of a resolution banning all visits by foreign journalists who are based in South Africa, except by specific invitation. Since almost all reporting on Zimbabwe is done by 90 foreign correspondents who work...
...star once had a girth of 100 million miles or more, but now is only a few miles in diameter. A teaspoonful of its material weighs as much as 100 million tons, and the star's gravitational force is so strong that it pulls away a steady stream of gases, mostly hydrogen and helium, from its larger companion. As the gases spiral toward the neutron star, they heat up, reaching such high temperatures (up to 10 million°C) and densities that the atoms of hydrogen smash into each other and fuse. This causes a runaway thermonuclear explosion that...
