...syndicate a show, but wherever it is seen it achieves a local flavor impossible on a network. In each Romper Room city, the teacher has half a dozen local five-year-olds on the air with her every day, replacing three each week. They learn the alphabet, balance baskets on their heads, shove sand around with toy bulldozers, flack for their own drawings, and learn key facts of nature, such as, say, a whale can get a sunburn and peel. It is a school, not vaudeville, to be sure, but it is a pretty good show nonetheless. Teachers crawl under...
...listener," his fingers resting on a duplicate keyboard, feels each key or combination of keys vibrate in response to the speaker's signals. According to the telephone's U.S.-born inventor, Aeronautical Engineer Joseph Hirsch, it is a simple matter to put the letters of the alphabet and actual words into an easily understood code of vibrations. Hirsch began perfecting his phone while working on mechanical vibration problems in U.S. Navy missiles, and he is sure the technique can be put to wider use for remote control of dangerous crop-dusting planes, and in military communication systems, where...
...alphabet-soup world of subatomic physics, only one letter was missing. The equations of quantum theory had indicated the existence of 17 pairs of basic "building blocks"-particles and antiparticles, balanced by opposite electrical charges, and physicists had long since spotted and labeled the 17 normal particles. Once they got their huge, high-energy accelerators working in the late 1950s, they matched 16 of these bits of matter with their antiparticle mates. All that remained was the elusive (anti-Xi-zero). In September 1961, a group of Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory physicists set out to find...
...verifying the existence of anti-Xi-zero, the Yale-Brookhaven team- completed the alphabet of the first family of subatomic particles. But during their long search, other physicists also were busy. Several new arrangements of fundamental building blocks have already been postulated, and some of them leave gaps that may be filled by still more particles. The long search seems certain to continue...
...attack into a meeting of world Communist leaders in Bucharest in June, Khrushchev was incensed. "One cannot mechanically repeat what Lenin said decades ago," he shouted. "We live in a time when neither Marx nor Engels nor Lenin is with us. If we act like children who study the alphabet by building words out of letters, we shall not get very...
