...become Columbia's most cherished hero since Sid Luckman was tossing passes at Baker Field. While his colleagues beam in admiring good will, President Grayson Kirk sings his praises as "an able and exciting teacher," the Graduate English Department information desk bears the legend "Only Charles Van Doren Knows All the Answers." and his students decorate the blackboard with such questions as "For $52,500, what did Plato mean by Justice?" At St. John's, where only two faculty members deign to own TV sets, President Richard Weigle went to a neighborhood bar to catch last week...
Simplest way to do this would be to build two conventional accelerators and make their particles collide, but all the machines known today shoot out so few particles that collisions between them would be too rare. Dr. Jones described a special accelerator that yields a beam so dense that it should cause many collisions with another beam. Better yet is Ohkawa's idea: an accelerator with two streams of particles circulating in opposite directions in the same circular path. Guided in a chainlike pattern by magnetic fields of alternating direction, the streams will cross each other many times...
Perhaps he follows the critic's beam hoping the critic will lend it to him after a while, hoping that if he reads "Paradise Lost" often enough, he will discover his own experience. The experiment is seldom tried, and I also suspect that the poem, like the sphinx, speaks only when he expects to hear a voice, and that following the critics will produce only the voice which he has been told he will hear. If he reads a book about which he has heard enough, he can only react in those particular terms. He may reject or accept...
...hideaways in the cliffs, poured shells point-blank into men and landing craft. The "average life" of the invaders on the beach was "measured in a handful of seconds." Author Thompson, a British war correspondent, ably describes "the shuddering chaos of ships and men," the massacres in the beam of a German searchlight, the tragic survivors, a few of whom were found wander ing days later in England, not knowing "who they were or where they were...
...Columbia cyclotron (called affectionately a "pie factory") is arranged to generate a beam of pi mesons, which turn quickly into mu mesons. Using mu mesons to test parity had often been discussed, but had seemed too difficult. This time Dr. Lederman and Associate Richard L. Garwin had a new idea. Working at top speed with Graduate Research Assistant Marcel Weinrich, they set up an extremely simple experiment. In the path of the mu mesons streaming from the cyclotron, they placed a block of carbon about 6-in. square and 1-in. thick with a coil of wire wound around...
