Walker broke ground with The Color Purple by writing in the voice of a poor Black woman. She showed a stunning power over words by using simple language to develop complex characters and show strong emotion. In Temple, Walker has done just the opposite. The book is a string of cliches and reads like a pop novel--there is too much discussion of running shoes, crystals and jacuzzis and not enough about people...
...think fusion occurred," said embarrassed team leader James Mahaffey. There was worse news to come. The collaboration between Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale, using an array of the most sophisticated equipment available, concluded its tests of cold fusion and found nothing. No other national lab had done any better. And on April 27, the British journal Nature, to which Pons and Fleischmann had submitted their paper, then withdrawn it when asked to give more information, published an editorial on fusion fever. Verdict: it had been fun, but Pons and Fleischmann had been sloppy. Cold fusion, editor John Maddox bet, would...
This new phenomenon of science by press conference disturbed many researchers. Said Moshe Gai, a Yale physicist and a member of the Yale- Brookhaven collaboration: "I am dissatisfied and somewhat disappointed with some of my fellow scientists who have done things too much in a hurry." Charles C. Baker, director of fusion research at Argonne National Laboratory, was blunter: "Calling press conferences and making claims of results without having a well-prepared technical report is not the way for a good, professional scientist to function...
...less -- than rigorous. "Every great discovery has had plenty of skeptics," notes Richard Muller, a physicist at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, "but I can't find any great discovery of the past 50 years that was published with a bad paper. If a freshman physics or chemistry major had done it, they would have flunked." Says Robert G. Sachs, former director of ! Argonne National Laboratory: "It doesn't meet the kind of standards you'd want to meet for nuclear physics. It doesn't even meet the standards of testing in inorganic chemistry. It's a shame. They obviously just...
...could boys have done something so savage? We have two schools. The "rage" school, which would like to treat and heal these boys. And the "monster" school, which would like to string them...
