...cosmic shower, they triggered four Wilson cloud chambers, which show the path of any ionized or charged particle that passes through them as a trail of condensed water drop lets. If a quark freed by a collision between a cosmic ray and an atmospheric atom happened to penetrate the cham ber, the physicists reasoned, it would leave a highly characteristic track...
Desperate to get the ball back, Harvard tried an obvious onside kick-and made the recovery. Back rushed Cham-pi; on first down, unable to find anyone to pass to, he scrambled 14 yds. to the Yale 35.

But one has to draw the line somewhere, and last week Bourguiba did-just below the knee...
...walls cannot safely be repaired or replaced in their present position, and that the arches supporting the building might collapse if the temporary shoring is removed. Moreover, he adds, his plan would add 41 acres of badly needed floor space within easy reach of the House and Senate cham bers, enough room for 110 new offices (many with a spectacular view of the Mall), two cafeterias, two dining rooms and an auditorium for tourists...
