...whether the model matches the real universe. Cambridge Cosmologist Dennis W. Sciama explained that since the megaphysical laws are largely unknown, cosmologists must test their models against the few facts they do possess. One set of facts they are reasonably sure of: the universe "is made of a fairly uniform mixture of chemical elements; 95% is hydrogen, nearly 5% is helium formed in stars. The small remainder is the heavier elements from lithium to uranium. The elements get scarcer as they get heavier until they reach the atomic weight of 100; after that, their abundance is about the same...

In payment for such chores Trujillo let Paulino wrap his blimplike belly in the uniform of an honorary major general and play the role of Despot No. 2. Inevitably, No. 2 got to thinking of himself as a likely successor. But that was not to be. Last week Anselmo Paulino was a broken man, stripped of his influential office and his beloved uniform, out of power...
