...only signals earth may receive of this activity are in the form of gamma rays. For example, gamma-ray bursters have been measured releasing more energy in a matter of seconds than the sun does in thousands of years. Since they carry no electric charge, gamma rays can plow through space unchanged, giving scientists a clear record of cosmic events. The atmosphere shields the earth from most gamma radiation, but this shield has forced scientists studying the rays to rely on instruments lofted aboard huge balloons or rockets. Until now researchers have only peeked through the veil of the universe...

Mathers bought up old homestead land for $5 to $8 an acre, quit trying to plow and plant wheat and barley, and gently coaxed back the grass, which now ruffles in the restless wind, somehow surviving where the nation has its coldest winters and hottest summers...
