Many experts think that is unlikely. Richter bet on a new approach to accelerator design, sending the positrons and electrons down a two-mile-long straight track, then spinning them out in opposing semicircles before colliding them. The CERN machine is more conventional and thus more likely to work from the start. The positrons and electrons in the LEP are made to circle repeatedly in opposite directions through the tunnel, with new particles added periodically to the stream. In a given period of time, the LEP is expected to produce hundreds of times as many Z 0s as the Stanford...
Western experts have long had reservations about Soviet reactor design, but deficiencies may be even worse in the areas of fire prevention, systems monitoring and damage control. The most recent accident indicates that the Soviet navy may be facing another problem common to all sub fleets: long-term stress in aging vessels. The Echo IIs were built in the early and mid-'60s; last week's accident could point to insufficient maintenance...

Apart from the problematic location, the basilica's distinctly non-African design has raised questions: all the figures depicted in the stained-glass windows are white, except for a lone black pilgrim who bears a remarkable resemblance to Houphouet-Boigny. Especially troublesome is the cost of the construction: the price tag may exceed $200 million...
