Colleagues sometimes tease Astronomer Willem J. Luyten of the University of Minnesota by calling him a "stellar mortician" because of his passionate interest in dying stars. Luyten does not mind the ribbing; the faint pinpoints of light that he studies are the end products of stellar evolution and hold many secrets of the universe. Recently, Astronomer Luyten found the dimmest star yet: a minuscule "white dwarf that emits 50,000 times less light than the sun, yet probably contains an equal or greater mass. "This one," he says, "looks to be at the end of the line...
...stories (Bonjour Tristesse, A Certain Smile), off to Cuba in low-heeled shoes. Her considered opinion: Cuba-shmooba. In her first installment, published last week, she took weary note of the countryside from the train bearing her to a camp rally in the Sierra Maestra mountains. Castro perked her interest a bit. He was "strong, smiling." But after the briefest of stays, Author Sagan left Havana, confided to a friend: "Cuba was dull. I couldn't wait...
...pieces were gathered with loving care by President Webb, who founded the museum in 1947 with her late husband, J. Watson Webb, a great-grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Now 71, Mrs. Webb has always been a compulsive collector. "It's like being an alcoholic," she says. Her interest in collecting comes naturally: she is the daughter of the Henry O.

Releasing Something Deeper. The Rev. Dennis J. Bennett, for one, is sure the explosion is on the way; last week he took up new duties in Seattle at St. Luke's Episcopal Church as the direct result of his interest in glossolalia. London-born Father Bennett, 42, a graduate of Chicago Theological Seminary (Congregational) who later became an Episcopalian, was assigned to St. Mark's Church in Van Nuys, Calif, in 1953. Last October he agreed to meet with some members of a fellow minister's church who had found themselves beginning to speak in tongues. First...
Father Bennett brought the idea into his own parish-and began to run into trouble. Of his 2,000 parishioners, he says, some 700 developed a positive, sympathetic interest-"they included the junior warden and the chairman of the women's guild. They were about equally divided between men and women, and there was a large number of couples. The group included a Ph.D. and a brain surgeon." But conservative Episcopalians were shocked. In April the vestry asked Pastor Bennett for his resignation, and Bishop Francis Eric Bloy of Los Angeles sent St. Mark's a new priest...
