...they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of nuclear physics to a state of near chaos. Groping among their new-found lambdas, pions, kaons, sigmas and other bits of matter with strange names and even stranger characteristics, physicists hope some day to restore order by finding a truly elemental particle - one out of which all the others are made...
...215T CENTURY (CBS, 6-6:30 p.m.). "The Mighty Atom" discusses all the new uses for atomic energy, and what lies in store three decades from...
...daily bread.' In mid-20th-century America, bread is a drug on the market. Our problem is not to get bread but to get rid of it. The breaking of this age-old economic equation is, in the sweep of history, just as new as the atom-and much less appreciated. December...
...Kennedy style! That is the word. The Kennedy style was precisely what Americans needed. It gave a lift to Americans' pride in their country. He was a fun man after hours. Despite the atom bomb and all that, America was again becoming a fun country. Kennedy did not actually accomplish much in a specific sense during his three years in the White House. Neither in domestic nor foreign affairs can a great deal be put to his account. What was important about President Kennedy was not what he did but who he was. In this period of the American...
...spectacular tools of high-energy physics: the massive and powerful bevatrons, cyclotrons, synchrotrons and linear accelerators. The latter are designed to fire beams of particles, usually high-speed electrons, down a long copper tube at experimental targets. Stanford University, for example, now has a two-mile-long atom-smashing model called SLAC (TIME, July 22). SLAC, which stands for Stanford Linear Accelerator, is just beginning its experimental program. Yet last week Stanford Physicist Alan Schwettman reported in Washington that a prototype of an improved and more advanced linear accelerator had been successfully tested on the Palo Alto campus...
