Only once is Blazer pecked, by an irritable banty named Mindy (Mork, next up, is more docile). A leghorn named White Flyer escapes in the transfer from box to scale and flies into heavy brush a hundred feet away. The fishnet squad is dispatched.

Despite the clear danger that U.S. relations with Panama-and the treaties themselves-could be plunged into chaos by a defeat, the Administration narrowly survived a series of votes. One proposal, requiring Panama to pay $75 million a year as part of the total transfer costs, was defeated by just three votes. Final passage approving Murphy's compromise was 224 to 202. The bill now goes to the Senate, where conservatives are planning to launch yet another attack on the beleaguered treaties...

...living mathematical astronomer, Chandrasekhar developed the theory of the dwarf star that explains the final stages of stellar evolution. Born in Lahore, India, in 1910, he became a U.S. citizen in 1953. His other research has included work in the dynamics of stellar systems, theory of stellar atmospheres, radiative transfer, hydrodynamics and hydromagnetic relativity. From 1952 to 1971, he acted as managing editor of Astrophysical Journal. Chandrasekhar received the 1966 National Medal of Science for his contribution to the study of cosmic dynamics. His books include Principles of Stellar Dynamics (1942) and Radioactive Transfer (1950). He is now Hull Distinguished...
