...Pressure the industrialized nations, through the good offices of the U.S., to grant trade concessions to the Latin American countries so that their main exports-coffee, sugar and copper-will no longer be adversely affected by wild fluctuations in world markets...
Just to Listen. The strict security arrangements kept Johnson from mingling with Latin Americans and pressing the flesh, but he made up for that in his private sessions with the Presidents. His face burnished copper by the warm Uruguayan sun, he sat in a lounge chair on the lawn of his seaside villa and, between formal summit sessions, received a steady procession of Latin American leaders in arm-gripping, rib-punching, face-to-face talks. "I'm not here to say 'You do that and you do this,'" Johnson told the Presidents. "I'm just here...
...because it stole, with little change, the thunder from their land-for-the-masses campaign promises. The landlords were unhappy because the government paid low prices for the expropriated property. A united front of leftist parties called FRAP attacked his plan to "Chileanize" the country's foreign-owned copper industry because it stopped short of nationalization. The rich complained about having to pay income taxes; the middle class griped about Frei's anti-inflationary moves, which held down wage increases. The poor fretted that Promo-don Popular-Frei's war on poverty-did not do enough...
...subatomic world and its host of recently discovered particles, scientists are rapidly refining and adding to the spectacular tools of high-energy physics: the massive and powerful bevatrons, cyclotrons, synchrotrons and linear accelerators. The latter are designed to fire beams of particles, usually high-speed electrons, down a long copper tube at experimental targets. Stanford University, for example, now has a two-mile-long atom-smashing model called SLAC (TIME, July 22). SLAC, which stands for Stanford Linear Accelerator, is just beginning its experimental program. Yet last week Stanford Physicist Alan Schwettman reported in Washington that a prototype...
...device differs from SLAC and the others in its ability to fire electrons continuously. In previous linear accelerators, the high-frequency radio waves used to accelerate electrons through the copper tube could quickly produce high temperatures by generating electric currents in the walls of the tube. To prevent serious heat damage, the electrons were fired in very short bursts. Stanford's SLAC is designed to fire electrons in millionth-of-a-second bursts separated by intervals of a thousandth of a second...
