...best advice for Dirksen to heed now is: quit wasting your time. With controversial and crucial problems needing Congressional action, this is no time for a man of Dirksen's importance to attempt to combat religious decay, real or imagined, with an amendment of dubious value. Dirksen can perform a positive role in the Senate, but only if he confines his attention to the questions that need and deserve a legislative solution...
...three smaller particles called pions-one positive, one negative, one without any electrical charge. According to the laws of symmetry, the positive and negative pions should have identical energies. But when a team led by Columbia University's Dr. Paolo Franzini examined 1,441 photographs of eta-meson decay in the Brookhaven bubble chamber (TIME, July 8), they found that in 53% of the photographs the positive pion apparently had more energy than its negative counterpart-a significant violation of symmetry...
Reversing the Field. In their experiment at Geneva, the European physicists also studied eta-meson decay. They analyzed 10,665 photographs of tracks made by pions in the CERN spark chamber, and in their larger, more reliable statistical sample, they found no significant difference in the energy levels of positive and negative pions...
Scientists may have already seen evidence of Faustian matter in the be havior of subatomic particles called K-mesons. These particles normally decay rapidly into other smaller bits of matter, but some of them seem to live longer than they theoretically should. Stannard speculates that the K-mesons may actually do a "time-flip" into the Faustian universe, reverse their process of decay and grow younger. Then they flip back and resume their disintegration-while appearing only to have decayed more slowly...
...what can be done about the worsening plight of the city and its poor, whose frustrations and resentments have erupted in a succession of bloody riots every summer since 1964. And Lyndon Johnson, who is acutely aware that his Great Society can hardly stand on a foundation of urban decay, took up the cry for action during a threeday, five-state trip through the populous U.S. Northeast...
