...Berkeley scientists turned their 6.2 Bev. proton beam on a copper target. From it emerged a secondary beam of sub-atomic debris (protons, neutrons, mesons, etc.) which presumably contained antiprotons. To prove that it did, the scientists shot the secondary beam into a "maze" (of magnetic fields and mass-or speed-measuring instruments) which only a particle with the anti-proton's properties could pass through. A few of the particles did pass through it, leaping every hurdle and checking in triumphantly at the far end. None lived very long, of course. After a fraction of a second, each...

They were at first a rough lot. They got into so many tavern brawls that President Bunnell once exclaimed: "They'll be the ruination of us all." Patty replied: "Don't worry, Doctor. You'll be proud of those boys some day." By the time he left to start his own business in 1935 ("I want to practice...
