Whichever scenario is correct, says Astrophysicist Greenstein, "I find a certain pleasure and honor in belonging to the universe of stars, of these events that have created the materials of which the earth and I are made." It is a sentiment many can echo. The final consolation has always been, as humanity looking upward measured its own finiteness against the infinity of the stars, that it is better to have been for a season, even a moment, than not to have been at all. The stars thus are no less symbols in their newly understood mortality than they were, seemingly...
...note spelling and punctuation) is not "long out print." It appears currently with the other essays originally collected under the title Our Examination Round his Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress in James Joyce/Finnegans Wake: A Symposium. New York: New Directions, 1972. "Equally difficult to find" "Whoroscope" and Echo's Bones may be found in Beckett, Samuel. Poems in English. New York: Grove Press, 1962. Michael Haggerty

The moody films of the '40s follow a series of loners down a series of mean streets-an echo of postwar confusion and anxiety. A comic and ultimately sorrowful section is devoted to Marilyn Monroe, following her from screen tests to her last incomplete film, tracing her biography in rare shots with Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio. There is also a haunting, overproduced birthday party for John F. Kennedy...
...took office (8.9% in May 1975). Mistakenly thinking that Carter had specifically referred to low unemployment in the 1950s, Ford said the figures were low because of the large number of men (3.5 million) who were serving in the Armed Forces during the Korean War. Ford did not quite echo the old Republican claim that Democrats start wars, but he did say: "This Administration doesn't believe the way to reduce unemployment is to go to war." The implication was that Democrats, including Carter, do believe that. In the night's most mystifying statement, Carter said that Ford...
