...busy with week after week is suggested by the fact that his two previous cover stories were the Computer (April 2) and the Mars mission's William Pickering (July 23). There is a third member of this crew for whom it is difficult to find a counterpart in the space analogy. This is the SCIENCE researcher, Fortunata Sydnor Trapnell, whose store of facts and figures on the subject might startle some of NASA's experts...
...punishment-the marriage is annulled. Keeping solemn tab on the retributions, not to mention the whole 32-character plot line, is the responsibility of Peyton Place's "story board." The board, consisting of three senior writers, and aided by a constantly updated chart presentation that probably has no counterpart outside the Pentagon's "war room," lays out each episode. Five junior writers then turn their scenarios into finished scripts. None of the eight writers is over 35; only two earn less than $1,000 a week. Expensive Trappings.

...Billion Volts. Last week a team of Columbia University researchers dispelled the doubts. In the Physical Review Letters, the Columbia scientists reported that they have produced the first complex nucleus of antimatter ever observed-the anti-deuteron. It is the antimatter counterpart to the nucleus of deuterium (heavy hydrogen), consists of an antiproton and antineutron bound by a strong nuclear force, and has a negative charge. Such an achievement, the Columbia researchers conclude, provides strong evidence to support theories about the existence of an antiworld of stars, planets, and possibly even antipeople...
