Behind massive iron gates, looming almost as large as the late Otto Kahn's huge chateau down near Huntington, stands a rambling, many-chimneyed Tudor house whose four stories and So rooms contain $2,000,000 worth of the world's greatest paintings, tapestries, porcelains and a large, handsome private chapel.

Last August Russian-born, dimple-chinned Director Otto Struve of Yerkes Observatory announced discovery of the first known red nebula. It fans out from the red super giant star Antares to a distance of about two quadrillion miles...
