...deeply into that hidden world-in which more than 100 strange subnuclear particles have already been discovered -scientists have been forced to build ever more powerful atom smashers. Trouble is, the cost of such monsters is now so high-$250 million, for example, for the 500-billion-electron-volt (BeV) accelerator now nearing completion at Batavia, Ill.-that high-energy physicists are anxiously looking for alternate ways of getting a bigger bang for increasingly scarce bucks...

...Time, last week; place, Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center. Bev erly has at last found her destiny. At 39, she is the New York City Opera's prima donna and clearly ranks as one of the two or three finest coloraturas in the world. At the New York Phil harmonic Promenade Concert, she sings a selection of Viennese arias and songs by Kalman, Korngold, Mozart and Richard Strauss, displaying a faultless voice that sweeps with elaborate embellishments to feathery, accurate high notes. The audience goes wild and demands an encore. From Santiago, Buenos Aires, Vienna and London come frantic...

...East African Safari starts in Nairobi, Kenya, and winds up, 3,100 miles later, precisely where it started-if anyone gets back. Last week's Safari was barely under way when a Volkswagen driven by the Kenyan team of Tommy Fjastad and Bev Smith shot over a precipice, plunged 100 ft. and burst into flames. Somehow, both Fjastad and Smith escaped unhurt. Other drivers found the road blocked by elephants, giraffes, antelopes-and a whole pride of lions, which refused to budge despite blaring horns...

Unlike most mammoth science and engineering projects, SLAC has had unusually smooth and efficient sailing. Its total cost will be $114 million, precisely the amount appropriated five years ago for SLAC's sponsor, the Atomic Energy Commission. In a warmup test last month, it produced an 18.4 BEV beam and performed so well that its Stanford operators decided to begin allotting time for experiments to start next November, several months ahead of schedule. Its only serious problem, caused by the stubborn refusal of Woodside, a nearby suburb, to allow use of its land for SLAC...
