The Engineers' team can hardly be rated powerful, however, and the predicted brea kin the heat wave should work to the Crimson's advantage...
Weak as these facts may seem in support of the existence of a Cantabrigian religion renascence, they are actually even weaker.

...important new technique will be to observe the comet's tail with radio telescopes. If it is really full of peculiar chemical fragments (free radicals), as astronomers suspect, the fragments should be excited by sunlight and made to broadcast on characteristic wave lengths. The Naval Research Laboratory in Washington has turned its 50-ft. radio disk on the comet in the hope of detecting waves from hydroxl (OH) radicals. If astronomers find this odd stuff in comets, they may be able to trace it back into interstellar space. This may lead them, in turn, to new knowledge about what...

She has discovered a piece of ancient Greek sculpture-a golden boy on a bronze dolphin - which has lain for 2,000 years on the floor of the Aegean. Sophia is determined to sell her discovery to the highest bidder, and before long an American archaeologist (Alan Ladd) and an American millionaire (Clifton Webb) are hard in pursuit of whatever it is that Sophia...
