But unless it can effectively detect discrimination when it occurs, the Registry is in danger of merely feeding numerous customers to the landladies so they can afford to discriminate against minority groups...
...apparatus at Hanford was designed to detect the neutrino, a ghostly particle that the physicists invented to make their nuclear equations come out even. When an atom disintegrates, the mass of its fragments plus the mass equivalent of the energy released should equal the mass of the original atom. Often they do not; a small amount of mass disappears as completely as a snowflake in the ocean. This is serious because the physical sciences are based on the principle that mass can turn into energy and vice versa, but neither can just disappear...
Meanwhile, Charles I. Maidanick '56, who was seriously injured in Friday's accident, is reported in good condition at Massachusetts General Hospital. He still has a piece of glass lodged in the cornea of his left eye, however, and can do no more with that organ than detect light and darkness...
