...points. In one surge the fire burned ten homes, including that of TV Star Ralph (This Is Your Life) Edwards (damage: $100,000), who was already in residence at his other home in Beverly Hills. (Movie pressagents, sniffing some profitable headlines for their clients, quickly got into the act with a string of announcements describing the tribulations of various movie folk, e.g., Kim Novak, Jane Russell, Alan Ladd and Glenn Ford.

Their motto might well have been that of another great romantic, William of Orange: "One need not hope in order to act, nor succeed in order to persevere...
...atom of helium 3 and releasing 5.4 million electron-volts of energy. The meson shoots off, carrying the energy as velocity, and is none the worse for its experience. It may form another mesic atom and cause it to fuse with another atom of ordinary hydrogen. When mesons act in this way, they are behaving like chemical catalysts, which cause chemical reactions but are not changed by them...

Worse still, mu mesons are short-lived, decaying into other particles in two-millionths of a second, so they have little time to act as catalysts.
