Though most scientists at the Berkeley meeting privately sided with the CERN findings, none would state flatly that symmetry had, after all, been restored. Franzini's group is preparing a new round of experiments at Brookhaven in an attempt to confirm the violations they reported; still another team led by Columbia University Physicist Leon Lederman will attempt a similar experiment, and the CERN scientists plan to make more tests of their own. "The evidence from the CERN experiments is by no means conclusive," says Franzini defiantly. "Many more experiments are needed before we can say who is right...

Still refusing to confirm or deny his marriage, Father Cross last week came back again to Detroit, after visiting his brother in Rochester, N.Y., and introduced his new bride to his understandably puzzled family.
