...solar signal remained quite steady, while in other areas of the radio spectrum the intensity might suddenly become a million times more powerful. These giant outbursts appeared to be associated with sunspots which could be seen on the sun's surface with optical telescopes. In 1949, J. P. Wild and L. L. McCready made the first sweep-frequency observations of the sun at Dapto, Australia, 20 miles south of Sydney. Instead of recording radiation at a single of fixed frequency, their receivers were able to record intensity at all frequencies from 70 to 130 megacycles per second (later the band...
Tracing its path of logic from this polarization, Dean Monro's letter suggests that all those students who have experienced sexual intercourse have exposed themselves to almost certain misfortune. This attitude pervades the letter.

Quick, wild-grinning, tall and made taller by the brush of his untended process, he was working when he could, hustling what he could, living round the circle of his relatives and women, and working out his own "race problem" by rolling white drunks and taking potshots at cops...
...songs often had last night's audience roaring with laughter. Particularly successful were "Bureaucracy Calypso," a slap at modern urban government, "Living in the Twilight," which describes the life of the gangster associated with government and has suspicious echoes of West Side Story, and the "Accusatory Bop," a wild rock 'n roll bit in the grand style...
