Chiang may not wake up for weeks, but other Peking watchers should soon sort out the exaggerated news reports and realize that China is likely to remain still communist and still mysterious for a long time.

To the beast of our knowledge this week's conflict is at least partially the result of a tug of war between provincial and national leaders in China, a tug of war in which the two teams temporarily have...
...atomic particles traveling close to the speed of light, some of the muons will be energetic enough to penetrate the dense structure of the pyramid and pass through the spark chamber, a device consisting of two horizontal pairs of oppositely charged metal plates. Be cause the muon leaves a wake of ionized gas, which conducts electricity, a spark will jump between each pair of plates along the path of the particle...

In these settings, Joyce wrote his books, from the epiphanies represented by Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to the full achievements of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. In addition, Joyce launched on the world a flood of letters. The first batch, edited by Stuart Gilbert, was published nearly a decade ago (TIME, June 3, 1957). Since then, many more have been found: these two volumes contain 1,136 letters written by Joyce and nearly 200 by other...
