...seemed to give the impression in your May 20 issue that "the Old Guard" brand of Republicanism is maintained by an older, outdated type of leader and voter. When I am released from the Army, I hope to return to teaching and live this conservative way of life...
Unoriginal Originals. It would be hard to confuse the paintings that Lowitz' artists produce with masterpieces. Some are attempts to reflect a recognized master's style; others are done in the painter's own style. They are painted quickly and slickly on a type of beaverboard (easier to store, less likely to damage) that is cut to fit nine frame sizes, ranging from very small (8 in. by 10 in.) to rather big (72 in. by 20 in.). Whether they are semiabstract, magazine-cover American or postcard romantic, most of the unoriginal originals have the restful quality...
After elaborate mathematical reasoning, Morrison and Gold speculate that the universe may consist of both kinds of matter. Both antimatter and ordinary matter may have been created at the same time, and are perhaps still being created. Even if the atoms of opposite type are born in the same parts of space, they will seldom meet and suffer annihilation. Gravitational attraction will pull similar atoms together, while antigravitational repulsion will push dissimilar ones apart. The final result will be the segregation of matter and antimatter in separate galaxies...
Duel in the Sky. For all astronomers know, say Morrison and Gold, half of the galaxies may be made of antimatter. They will be pushing their neighbors away by antigravity, but the light that comes from them will reveal nothing unusual about them. Only when galaxies of hostile type happen to collide in spite of anti-gravity will their matter interact violently. This may be happening. Several odd objects deep in space, e.g., the M 87 galaxy, seem to get large amounts of energy from an unknown source. These may be pairs of hostile galaxies, fighting vast duels of annihilation...
...infant-formed last year by the merger of oldtimers Pacific Coast Borax Co. and U.S. Potash Co. But it has close to a natural monopoly, holds 63% of the free world's deposits, including the only big deposit of sodium borate ore (at Boron), the cheapest and easiest type of the mineral to mine and process. The company's ancestry is the story of borax mining in the U.S. The discovery of borax in a California hot spring in 1856 set off feverish prospecting and mining that eventually made the U.S. the world's leading borax producer...
