Bill was born in Hugo, Okla., but the family moved to Texas while he was still in diapers, finally settling in Marshall, a sizable (pop. 25,000) East Texas oil-processing and manufacturing town named after Chief Justice John Marshall. Moyers considers himself a Texan. "Do I detect a Texas accent?" a TV interviewer once asked him. "Not only in my speech, sir," he replied, "but in my heart...
...ignores it. Plowing steadily along in the wake of Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe, his drama is sharpest in its seriocomic side-glances at counterespionage aboard ship. The best scene takes place in sick bay, where diagnosticians earnestly analyze a specimen of floating garbage to see if they can detect Red cabbage, a staple of Soviet submarines.

Experiments like Dr. Ommaya's go far to confirm the possibility of severe and lasting, though invisible, damage...
...that physicists know how to detect neutrinos, they should be able to gain a deeper understanding of the complex nature of energy and matter. They are eager to test their many theories about neutrinos, especially the one that the tiny particles may be "ashes" left by the disintegration of ordinary matter-or possibly a basic component in the creation of all matter...
