Into the blood-stinging wind he flew. He called his "mayday!" SOS and got an instant response, first from an Air Force base at Altus, Okla., 200 miles away, then from another airborne B-47. Altus gave Obie a compass heading to come in on. His panel lights grew dimmer, his eyes burned like hot lead. He could see the compass needle but not the numbers. He turned his plane to bring the needle toward the heading he wanted: his own field, the Strategic Air Command's Dyess Air Force Base near Abilene, 150 miles away...
...only denizens of the old park are the pigeons that flit among the rafters and, for the very observant, the ghosts of Billy Southworth, Tommy Holmes, and company--which still haunt the dugout behind first base...
...drawing a walk, and advanced to second and third on successive wild pitches. He scored a minute later, when the B.U. catcher dropped a third strike on Frank Saia and then threw wildly into right field in an attempt to make the put-out at first base...
Crimson pitcher Byron Johnson retired the Terriers without difficulty in their half of the ninth. A small claque of drunken Harvard rooters, almost lost in the huge expanse of the first base grandstand, cheered lustily. But over in the dugout Billy Southworth's ghost shook its head sadly, walked through the wall, and was lost from sight...
...positively charged electron (positron). Reason is his discovery of two key particle ratios: that between the mass of mu and pi mesons, and that between the mass of the proton and sigma hyperon. Each proves to equal TT divided by four; this produces a new constant (1.12888), based on the inverse of the square root of TT divided by four, which Grebe calls "g." This tool "opens the door," produces a periodic table of particles similar to Mendeleev's 19th century periodic table of chemical elements. To compile it, Grebe assigns g° to the electron and positron...
