After receiving a tip from a usually reliable informant, an FBI agent tails a suspected gambler and bookmaker for five days. On four of those days, the suspect parks his car near the same apartment house in St. Louis. He is observed, on one occasion, entering a flat that has two phones listed in another person's name. The phone numbers correspond with those that the informant claims are used for taking bets. Is there enough evidence for a magistrate to issue a search warrant...
...these children sometimes become dwarfs is unknown. Some researchers suspect the pituitary gland, the body's governor of growth. Others believe that continuous anxiety makes a victim's digestive system less able to absorb food. Although doctors see a connection between a baby's mental state and growth, they cannot yet show how an emotional problem becomes a physical one.

Astronomers do not yet know why the Crab pulsar flashes, but some suspect that its bursts of light are generated by charged particles in its intense magnetic field. Now that they have seen the light, scientists are attempting to take a clear spectrograph of the pulsar and to determine if the light itself is polarized. They are investigating a new report by astronomers at an observatory on Malta, who saw strange "ghost" flashes about 3° to either side of both the Crab pulsar and another nearby pulsar. With these new clues, scientists hope to be able to learn more...

If you don't think we live up to this ideal, and we often don't, you should criticize us and thereby strengthen us. But I beseech you not to start the dangerous game of interfering in the selection of Faculty members, for that is a game that any number can play. Robert...
