...collaboration with Rudolph Minkowski (TIME, June 27), he found the first pair of galaxies in collision. This proved that galaxies do in fact collide. Baade therefore examined close clus ters of galaxies for evidence that some of them may have collided in the past. Sure enough, such cluster galaxies contained few of the young stars of Population I, meaning that they had indeed collided. During the encounter, their stars inter-passed without individual collisions, but the dust and gas between them was combed out. Conclusion: galaxies that have collided contain no material to gather into youthful, fast-burning, quick-dying...
...more sinful than salami. However, Mama does break up Papa's affair when Delia goes so far as to have a child by him. Mama's triumph is brief; short weeks later, Papa is pinned to death under a collapsing wall. As the keening women cluster about the open coffin, Paolino seems to hear in their voices a lament for his dead boyhood...
...proves that pictures can be art even if picture takers have no pedigree as artists. It also gives proof again of what a versatile instrument the camera has become. It can encompass seas or explore a drop of ink, suggest the whoosh of motion, record the moment that a cluster of hands falls into an unforgettable pattern or the mood evoked when a great critic pauses to contemplate an art treasure.

President-elect Roberto F. ("Nino") Chiari, 55, is a birthright member of the moneyed cluster of families that have run Panama since the republic was founded in 1903. He was by no means the choice of the nationalistic mob that last November riotously invaded the U.S.-run Canal Zone to plant the Panamanian flag there. Since the other two candidates were equally patrician and soberly bent on keeping Canal Zone sovereignty out of the election, the mob did not get a choice. Chiari's win was chiefly a response to the perennial Latin American urge to upset the incumbent...
...styled "anarchistic situation" lasted for 30 minutes and was titled Theatre Piece. The composer himself stood in a corner with his back to the flimsy curtain. On the badminton-court-sized stage were eight performers confronting a weird assortment of props: a grand piano, a tuba, a trombone, a cluster of plastic bags hanging by a thin wire and dripping colored water into a washtub, a swing, a string of balloons, a pair of bridge tables littered with the debris of some nightmarish New Year's Eve-champagne bottle in bucket, movie projector, alarm clock, broom, toys.
