...accelerator called the Stanford linear collider (SLC), built in a hurry (3 1/2 years) and on the cheap ($115 million), has been struggling since February to measure the Z 0. Despite delays in getting the machine up and running, physicists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, in California, have already produced 120 Z 0s. That is enough to calculate the particle's mass more accurately than ever before. And by the end of the year, when the number of Z 0s produced is expected to reach 2,000, the Stanford scientists think they could have the Z 0's life...
...Norma Kamali recalls the 1940s with long-line swimwear featuring elegant drapery. Former Hollywood star Esther Williams has lent her name to a line of classic one-piece suits reminiscent of her costumes in films like Neptune's Daughter.

Congress has never before urged so sweeping a ban on offshore exploration. The committee also voted for a year's moratorium on oil and gas exploration in Alaska's Bristol Bay, an exceedingly rich fishing area...
