...Hampton tall on the bandstand back in the late '30s, when most of these tracks were recorded. The assorted personnel-Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie. Coleman Hawkins, Jess Stacy-are first-rate, and the unremitting frenzy of their attack is a fine antidote to the cool moods of modern chamber jazz...
...will ever see the little particle, but theoretical physicists-those mystic prophets of science-calculated several years ago that an unknown heavy meson probably can exist. Like the neutron, they figured, it would have no electric charge, so it would leave no track in a cloud or bubble chamber. They were sure it would disintegrate so quickly that other signs of its brief career would be hard to find. But the theoreticians considered the undiscovered particle so important that they named it omega in advance, implying that it might be the last unknown particle left in nature's locker...
...luck. Then, under the leadership of Yugoslav Physicist Dr. Bodgan C. Maglic, scientists at the University of California's famed Lawrence Radiation Laboratory analyzed 2,500 photographs of the four-prong stars found when antiprotons shot from Berkeley's bevatron accelerator collide with protons in a bubble chamber. Each star shows four curved lines made by negative and positive pions (pi mesons) created by the collision. There seemed to be a slight chance that careful examination would show that in some cases some of the star lines were formed by the disintegration of an extremely short-lived intermediate...
...time he reached Uruguay, just over the border from his citadel of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's Chamber of Deputies had voted 298-14 to approve his inauguration as President as the first step toward the conversion to parliamentary rule. There was an agonizing delay as Denys struggled to convince his more militant partners-the navy and air ministers-to follow his lead and give way to what was obviously the popular will.

He resigned the presidency, and flew off back to his native Sao Paulo. He left the president of the Chamber of Deputies, a little-known politician named Pascoal Ranieri Mazzilli, to preside as caretaker in his stead...
