...expected in the suburbs of Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, where the days will be filled with a cacophony of ticks and buzzes that will wax and wane with the heat of the sun. A population in full song can exceed 100 decibels, roughly the level of a circular buzz saw at full throttle...
Some of the purported "research" justifications for the demonstration projects in the current bill sound as if they were lifted from a Monty Python skit. Building a road and an access ramp from U.S. Route 219 to the Johnstown (Pa.) Flood National Memorial is described in circular fashion as "demonstrating methods of improving public access to a flood memorial."

According to the legislation, the lots will "demonstrate methods of facilitating the transfer of passengers between different modes of transportation." But each of these...

...example, giant particle accelerators require extremely powerful magnets to keep the particles confined to a circular track as they move at nearly the speed of light. At Fermilab, near Chicago, the world's most powerful accelerator, known as Tevatron, uses more than 1,000 superconducting magnets cooled with liquid helium at a cost of $5 million a year. But the efficiency of the magnets saves Fermilab an estimated $185 million annually in electric energy costs. The superconducting super collider, a mammoth accelerator 52 miles in circumference, endorsed last month by President Reagan for completion in the 1990s at a projected...
...high purpose and pure kitsch. True, the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, headed by former Chief Justice Warren Burger, has rejected some of the more outrageous proposals. As a result, there will be no bicentennial brownie or constitutional hot dog. The commission has nevertheless designed a circular logo -- enclosing an American flag, an eagle and a scroll with the words "We the People" -- to be emblazoned on golf shirts, caps, scarves and sweatshirts...
