When the Kansas City Chiefs played in the 1970 Super Bowl, the home-town police had one-quarter the usual number of Sunday-morning calls and just one crime, a burglary; they waited until half-time to question the suspect. The Kansas City Power and Light Co. turned on 15 million extra watts of power to run the city's radios and television sets that Sunday afternoon.

Astronomers have identified a powerful X-ray source in the constellation Cygnus. Some suspect the source, which has been labeled Cygnus Xl, may be just such a black hole. It appears to be rotating with a visible star around a common center of gravity−a dead partner of a dualstar system. Scientists believe material from the glowing star is being drawn into the black hole with such force that the material...

No one knows what causes the paralyzing nerve inflammation, though the syndrome seems to strike more often after viral infections, vaccinations and surgery. Doctors suspect that it may involve an immunological reaction, but they have no clue to what triggers...
