- Abstract
Reports on tidal disruption of the Magellanic Clouds by the Milky Way. How galaxies can interact in many different ways; Results of an atomic-hydrogen survey; Suggestion that the existence of both leading and trailing streams supports a gravitational interaction whereby the streams are torn from the bodies of the Magellanic Clouds by tidal forces.
