...green of winter-wheat shoots; other thousands of miles are pasture, dotted with grazing cattle. But the western half of the state is ruggedly mountainous, the steep slopes necked with aspen and capped with snow. Colorado is a land of mining ghost towns and booming oil, gas, missile and atom-research centers. Men in cow boy boots and ten-gallon hats still swing off the cattle trains; but now other men, in Brooks Brothers suits, stride purposefully down the ramps of jet airliners at Denver's Stapleton Airfield. Colorado is also the stage for a couple of ig62...
Most accelerators in the past have been proton accelerators. Protons, nearly 2,000 times as heavy as electrons are substantial projectiles and were among the first of the "atom-smashing" particles. The proton has drawbacks, however. It is surrounded by a strong nuclear force field, and when two protons pass near each other, the interaction is a strong...
...Quincy. Mass., last week the Navy celebrated the 60th anniversary of the construction of the original Bainbridge by commissioning a namesake that is totally unlike any other U.S. destroyer ever to hit the waves. The new Bainbridge is the latest member of the Navy's small fleet of atom-powered vessels. The first Bainbridge could make it just once across the Atlantic on a full load of coal; two-thirds of her sailors did nothing but stoke the boilers. On a single fueling of its reactor, the new Bainbridge will be able to cruise 180,000 miles...
...With words, I would lift the eyes of the Senators to the mountain peaks and the stars beyond, or I would lead them gently down a rustic road in Illinois. With words, I would lay bare the heart of a flower or pry open the fiery core of the atom that the Senate might appreciate the depth and breadth of the Senator from Illinois." Ev might have wished he'd said that...
...electrical engineering and President Kenneth J. Germeshausen, 55, and Executive Vice President Herbert E. Grier, 50, were his research assistants. The three developed a powerful strobe light for high-speed photography, but before they could market it, they were scooped up into World War II research on the atom bomb and sensitive aerial photography. At war's end, they incorporated at the AEC's request. As a small company, the new E.G. & G. let the big AEC worry about finances. Periodically the three gathered up bills and forwarded them to the Government. Recalls Germeshausen: "After all, they...
