Without a doubt, Baskin Robbins is an appealing option for a hungry summer school student studying at Lamont and seeking a quick ice cream...
Evidence that neutrinos have mass has been reported before, but the measurements were so marginal that they left more room for doubt than confidence. Not this time. The Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory, a stainless-steel chamber filled with 12.5 million gal. of water, lined with sensitive light detectors and located deep underground in an old zinc mine near the city of Takayama, is among the most sensitive instruments of its kind in the world. The physicists who use it are widely recognized as extremely careful experimenters. And, says University of Hawaii physicist John Learned, there wasn't much doubt about...

It didn't quite work, and in efforts to maintain his commercial viability, Sinatra would eventually record Presley's hit Love Me Tender as well as works by Paul Simon (Mrs. Robinson), George Harrison (Something) and Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now). The results were often...
