When the 11:01 a.m. train from Manhattan pulled into Southampton-still a semi-exclusive summer enclave on the eastern tip of Long Island-the scene that greeted the passengers was not to be believed. Rumbling and banging down the street came a wave of empty kerosene drums propelled by perfectly straight-faced adults; a horde of children were bouncing large weather balloons on their heads. In the midst of the turmoil were two homemade Hovercraft, a foot above the ground, one ridden by a curvaceous brunette billed as "Liquid Hips," the other by a menacing figure in black plastic...
Thus was dissipated a wave of speculation about the possible retirement of the dry, dour Kosygin, regarded as a leading exponent of reform at home and restraint abroad. In recent months, Kremlinologists have professed to divine signs that the 62-year-old Premier might be in failing health and weary of the job.

...M.P.S. Astronomers now believe that as much as one-tenth of a supernova's total mass is blown out at speeds approaching that of light, and enters the earth's atmosphere as cosmic rays. A second wave of slower radiation and burning gases causes the supernova to shine with prodigal splendor for weeks or even years until the star's remains gradually fade...
