Virtually complete last week was a new 250-yd. section near the old Reichstag. Atop the 12-ft. structure, engineers placed lengths of circular pipe denying any potential climber a handhold...
Subatomic World. Though SLAC's 20 BEV output is exceeded by the more familiar synchrotrons-devices that accelerate atomic particles by whirling them in a circular path-linear acceleration has several advantages. The beam is easier to control, more accessible for experimentation and bombards a target with more particles per second -increasing the probability of particle interaction. Even more important, circular accelerators cannot impart energies of more than about ten BEV to electrons which radiate away much of their energy when traveling in a circular path. Synchrotrons and other circular accelerators such as cyclotrons and betatrons are usually used...
...flashy female trapeze act, and Rod Taylor doughtily goes through the motions of Doris-appreciation without losing his grip. As a combination scientific whiz kid and loverboy, Rod invents an anti-gravity device, heads a U.S. space center for NASA, goes home after launch to a more or less circular pad with a guest wing as roomy as a Holiday Inn.
