...that they need fear no rival. Yet Treasure Island with all its largess of romance falls short of exhausting the store. Some of the things Stevenson missed, Herman Melville found in the South Seas--and wrote "Typee."

...cannot feel so well pleased. When he makes this accusation, does he actually imply that the "benefit of the doubt" should be AGAINST the alien, that a man should be considered guilty until he is proved innocent?

The discovery of a nova is always one of the more spectacular results of astronomical research which never fails to arouse popular interest. None of the recent discoveries can be found with the naked eye, their magnitude ranging...
