Caltech astronomers led by David C. Jewitt and G. Edward Danielson reported spotting Halley's comet last week from Palomar Observatory, marking its first return since 1910. The sighting confirms the ancient visitor remains on track as it approaches within 90 million miles of Earth in early 1986.
Daniel C. Jordan, 50, dean of education at National University in San Diego and Bahai leader, vanished in New York City and was found murdered in a Stamford parking lot.

Jordan had traveled from Escondido to attend a conference in Manhattan and was not seen at his engagements in New York or Portland. His wife identified the body. Bahai spokesman Parks Scott noted Jordan’s 1990s leadership role and international travels, while authorities pursued possible links to Iranian Bahai persecution and no direct threat was confirmed.
