...Morton H. Halperin, assistant professor of Government, called on the Johnson administration yesterday to declare that it is not looking for a chance to bomb or invade China...
Daddy had warned her about cats like that. Clyde's daughter, Harriet Beatty, 32, was just opening her lion-taming act at the Hamid-Morton Police Circus in Kansas City, Mo., when Leo, a surly 240-lb. two-year-old, rushed her, chomped down on her right arm and dragged her around until she loosened his grip by firing six blank pistol shots in his face. After the lacerations were patched up, Harriet still displayed that old family spirit by insisting: "Lion training is fascinating...

But, said the article, "stories about the President's denigration of Harvard men accurately reflect his native instincts." Halperin, who acknowledged the possibility that he would leave Harvard's Center for International Affairs to join the Department, disputed the article's main point...
...earlier hint was provided by telescopic observations from the ground, which showed that a few older, cooler supergiants are continuously expelling matter at a sedate velocity of 20,000 m.p.h. Perhaps, after many millions of years, they lost enough mass in this way to be classed as dwarfs. Morton's measurements, which involved ultraviolet light that does not penetrate the earth's atmosphere, make clear that some supergiants are actually spewing out large quantities of matter so fast that they are quickly becoming mere shadows of their former selves...
...four supergiant stars in the constellation of Orion clearly showed that the stars-each about 25 times the mass of the sun-are ejecting great quantities of their matter at speeds as high as 4,000,000 m.p.h. Should they continue to expel matter at this rate, says Morton, they will eventually lose as much as 95% of their mass and turn into white dwarfs...
