...They call Lumumba the leader of rising hope in Africa, which (however much he has been discredited), he is, and they allege that Tshombe is a tool of the Belgian government, which, in some measure, he is also. What they do not acknowledge is the fact that the former's leadership is of a very dubious brand indeed, and that the latter will not let anyone, including, if need be, Belgium, distract him from his ambitions of independence...
Though measles is a reportable disease throughout the U.S., fewer than a fourth of all cases are actually reported to health authorities. Women with several children usually call the doctor for the first one to come down with measles. They learn that he can do nothing to halt the disease, then they quietly apply his guidance in caring for the other children when they catch it-as they usually do, in quick succession. Since 95% of the population eventually gets measles, there are probably more than 3,000.000 U.S. cases a year. Up to 4,000 get encephalitis; best estimate...
...powerful particle accelerator (or atom smasher) was at Geneva, Switzerland, generating a beam of protons with up to 28 Bev (billion electron-volts) of energy. Last week the energy championship came back to the U.S. At Brookhaven National Lab oratory, Long Island, the new alternating gradient synchroton, which scientists call AGS, was kicked up to full power for the first time, generating a proton beam that stayed steady at 30 Bev and hovered for short periods as high as 31 Bev, accelerating particles at rates only a fraction below the 186,300 miles-per-second speed of light. Eventually, Brookhaven...
...first "blues" album (actually more pop than blues), Farrell displays many of the qualities that shine forth on the concert stage: the easy flexibility, the tonal purity, the subtle sense of pitch that enables her to put her voice within the heart of every tone. The selections scarcely call for her full power, but they summon humor, a swinging beat and dramatic conviction. As Farrell alternately becomes the raucously betrayed woman (Blues In the Night), the languorous lady of experience (Old Devil Moon), the world-weary floozy (Ten Cents a Dance), even the weariest lines emerge fresh and endlessly inventive...
Moreover, Jesus is loathed by everyone in Nazareth because, as a carpenter, he makes crosses on which the hated Romans crucify the prophets that rise periodically to liberate Israel. He struggles against God's call, but eventually he finds that he must surrender. And so his ministry begins, first in the preaching of love and forgiveness, then, after his baptism-by a wonderfully wild and frightening John the Baptist-in his stern proclamation that the end of the world is at hand...
