...such exploration requires complicated machines like Fermilab's Tevatron. By pummeling the nucleus, the atom's central mass, with protons or other subatomic particles, physicists can literally tear apart the fabric of matter, somewhat like peeling layers from an onion. Every peel, however, requires increasingly powerful and costlier machines. As Stanford Physicist Wolfgang Panofsky notes, "The smaller the objects, the bigger the microscope we must use to see them...
...Princeton 12.6% to $12,910, and Columbia College anticipates a 12% boost to $12,750. Harvard will increase its tab by merely 8.7%, its lowest rise in four years.

The answer, insists the general: "We are buying them only because of political pressure...
...regard for time or money. Reagan wants to spend 36% more for weapons next year, increasing procurement from $66 billion to $90 billion. The shopping list: 42% more for Army aircraft, 48% more for Air Force missiles, 121% more for Navy shipbuilding. Because the new hardware is so much costlier the added money will purchase fewer items overall...
