...Stanford Accelerator will avoid this problem by building a straight line course two miles long, along down which the electrons will travel. The major problem here will be to construct a level track for such a great distance. If accomplished, it will be an engineering feat without parallel. The Stanford machine will be considerably more powerful than the C.E.A.: it is designed to operate at 25 Bev, and eventually reach as much as 45 Bev. But, it will concentrate on the same problems the C.E.A. is currently attacking
Like many critics, Mr. Schwarz is guilty of trying to fit all painting into an established academic matrix. His attempt to do so is even more difficult to accept because he uses a grossly oversimplified construct of regulations not even generally accepted...

And those who have not yet had the thrill of visiting the Grand Opera in Paris (1861-75) can get an idea of this magnificent building and its celebrated staircase from three engraving here...

In one story, a theologian reasons that Judas was actually God, because God would have chosen the "vilest destiny of all" to redeem mankind. In another, the fearsome Minotaur of Greek legend turns...
