Instead of seeing, primarily, short stature, I saw that one was exceptionally beautiful, that one was unusually short even for a dwarf, that one laughed uproariously and often, that one had an especially intelligent face and so I began to recognize how generically I had responded to little people until then.

The pessimists argue that for all its construction boom (William Penn's statue, once setting a limit to any building's height, became a relative dwarf more than a decade ago), Philadelphia is still a laggard, slowed down by a history of outdated habits and infrastructure that does not apply to sunbelt cities such as Atlanta or Houston.
One, known as a white dwarf, is the cooling remnant of a much lighter star.
Standard Type Ia supernovae are binary systems in which a white dwarf star draws so much matter from its companion (often a red giant) that it undergoes a kind of energy overload and detonates.
