...special assistant and co-authored a book with him. Now a member of a New York law firm, he has several clients, e.g., the Skiatron pay-TV system, with cases pending before the regulatory agencies.

When the atom stream shoots through a system of magnets, the low-energy atoms in it are deflected sideways while the high-energy ones converge, pass through a small hole in a 6-in. quartz bulb. The bulb is lined with paraffin which does not affect the atom's energy state as metal or bare quartz would, so the atoms bounce about inside for as much as a whole second, hitting the walls 10,000 times without losing their extra energy...

Wyman has indicated that he may reopen investigations of the New Haven pacifist who was jailed for refusing to divulge names of people who attended his summer conferences in North Conway. Boutin does not think Uphaus's conviction was unjust, but says that the Subversion Act under which Wyman operated "isn't a good law."; Boutin's backers will probably influence him to forget the case. Uphaus may return unharassed to New Haven if Boutin wins on Tuesday, but there won't be a revolution in New Hampshire...
