...acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) has been around since 1960, when scientists first succeeded in producing the powerful beams of single-frequency light waves. These beams could be delivered to distant points with much less diffusion and loss of intensity than ordinary beams, which consist of the helter-skelter waves of white light. In recent years, using light generated by gases or chemical reactions, researchers have greatly increased both the power and range of lasers...
...private Will has little of the charm and elegance of Will the writer. An unimposing six-footer with reddish hair and rimless glasses, he is given to casual dress and succinct answers that often consist of a single word or a single sentence. Self-confident to the point of arrogance, often curt, Will gives the impression of a man uninclined to suffer gools, gladly or otherwise. He answers questions in a monotone, seldom showing even a hint of emotion, except when he emphasizes a point by tapping a pencil on the desk in front...

Until such details are spelled out, the program is little more than an overdue government promise to be more sympathetic in dealing with industry...
...second line will consist of freshman George Hughes between junior Dave Bell and the team's other freshman, Gene Purdy. Hughes may be the Crimson player to watch this year. Last year he prepped at Choate, but before that he set all sorts of Mass. high school records for Malden Catholic and was the top high school player in the state. Bell, perhaps the fastest skater on the team, was a regular last season. Purdy's excellent play, on the other hand, has been something of a surprise...
