Some gaseous remains survive long after. In A.D. 1054, Chinese astrologers recorded a brilliant "guest star" supernova that suddenly exploded one night in the constellation Taurus. Located near the tip of the left horn, the star remained visible even during bright daylight. This same supernova's remains can be seen today as the Crab nebula, a diffuse, glowing gas cloud 3,500 light years away, which continues to expand at 800 miles per second...

The Dow-Jones industrial average of 30 blue-chip stocks, which two weeks ago had retreated after briefly cracking its historic May high of 939.62, moved up to new records on five consecutive days.

The defect is now remedied by Britain's Lord Kinross, a Turcophile (Within the Taurus) who has known some of Atatürk's principal associates for many years. In this acute and readable biography, Kinross sometimes oversimplifies the period but never underplays the complex and astonishing nature of the beast he is examining...
