...Stanford researchers, following their presentation, refused to divulge further details of their research; they had been advised by patent attorneys to reveal as little as possible until their work was legally protected. The competition extends beyond legal rights. Two weeks after Chu's record-breaking temperature was announced, the Berkeley team independently came up with the same superconducting compound. They immediately mailed a report of their results to Physics Letters, hoping it would be received before Chu's paper was published. Reason: they wanted to establish that they had not merely copied his work...
...Almaden Research Center in San Jose, scientists successfully duplicated the compound, analyzed its crystal structure and passed the information on to the company's labs in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where their colleagues were able to make thin films of the substance literally overnight. At the University of California, Berkeley, a group that included Theoretical Physicist Marvin Cohen, who had been among those predicting superconductivity in the oxides two decades ago, reproduced the 98 K record, then started trying to beat it. "I'm a standard American scientist," says Cohen. "My definition of research is to discover the secrets of nature...
...celebrated book, Portrait of a Marriage, describes the unlikely partnership of his homosexual parents Vita Sackville- West and Harold Nicolson. Adam is a naturalist ready to take over the family business of belles lettres. On their American tours, Adam, 29, relentlessly covers the West, stopping in on rallies in Berkeley, hanging out at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas and tramping through the rain forests of Washington. Meanwhile, his 70-year-old father makes his stately way through the drawing rooms, libraries and museums of the East and South...
...Berkeley's history of art department earlier this year asked Clark, an expert on 19th century French art, if he were interested in a lifetime position there, said the department's acting chairman Loren W. Partridge. The Berkeley department approved Clark'snomination, and the offer is currently undergoingthe university's review process, Partridge said...
...obviously think he is very important to thefield," Partridge said of Clark. Partridge wouldnot discuss the specifics of Berkeley's offer,saying it was still under negotiation...
