...Cambridge Electron Accelerator will not be as powerful as the proton synchrotron (25 billion to 30 billion electron volts) that is being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, but the electrons that emerge from it will be the fastest particles created by man. Since electrons are much lighter than protons (the mass of one proton equals 1,837 electrons), they must speed much faster than protons to pack the same punch...
...largest proton accelerator in the world is under construction at Brookhaven, Long Island. The machine, owned by the Atomic Energy Commission will be operated by Harvard in conjunction with eight other institutions through Associated Universities...
...present, physicists from the University do their Brookhaven research during the summer, between terms, or on leaves of absence. The new accelerator, when completed, will considerably enlarge the scope of their experimentation. Otto Oldenburg, professor of Physics, emeritus, said that this development "opens up a whole new area of scientific possibilities...
...also chairman of the advisory committee for Associated Universities, Inc., which is completing a study of the proposed project. Associated Universities, which includes Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, M.I.T., Pennsylvania, Princeton, Rochester and Yale, operates Brookhaven National Laboratories for the Atomic Energy Commission...

The model of a Soviet atomic-power plant on exhibit at the atomic-energy conference in Geneva offended him even more: "It's a mixed grill of Hellenic and Spartan styles...
