...picture of Glashow and Howard M. Georgi III, associate professor of Physics and frequent collaborator with Glashow. Georgi and Glashow face each other in the picture, bemused. A cartoon-type bubble pasted on the picture depicts them berating each other with the caustic phrase, "You dummy!" A sketch of Einstein and an enlarged photograph of a delicate white web of spirals on a black background decorate the fourth wall. Cross-country skis stand in the corner...
Jensen, Herrnstein, and 47 colleagues published a resolution in American Psychologist, July, 1972, comparing themselves to Galileo, Darwin, and Einstein, and attacking the "orthodox environmentalism" of their critics. They declared that "hereditary influences... in human abilities and behaviors... are very strong"; strongly encouraged "research into the biological hereditary bases of behavior"; and said they "deplore[d] the evasion of hereditary reasoning in current textbooks and the failure to give responsible weight to heredity in disciplines such as sociology, social psychology, social anthropology, psychological measurement, and many others...
Upholding Einstein. In other new experiments not concerned with biology, one of the landers will pick up and analyze a pebble (only soil has been examined to date) to get a better idea of the planet's geology. Scientists will also continue monitoring Viking 2's seismograph (the one aboard Viking 1 is disabled), which earlier picked up what may have been the only Marsquake to have occurred so far during the mission. They also plan to maneuver one of the Viking orbiters to within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of Phobos in order to get high-resolution pictures...
...Irwin Shapiro of Massachusetts Institute of Technology measured the time it took for radio signals to make the round trip between the earth and the Viking orbiters, 400 million kilometers (248.5 million miles) away. The scientists were making the most accurate tests yet of one of the tenets of Einstein's theory of relativity, which holds that radio waves passing close to a massive body like the sun should be slowed down by its gravitational field. The signals to and from the Viking orbiters have further strengthened Einstein's case. Their round trip required 200 microseconds (200 millionths...
...search of a bigger "sweet spot," more power and control, manufacturers have imbedded boron fibers in an epoxy matrix, reinforced nylon throat pieces with quartz, turned to the builders of nuclear reactors for ultrasonic welding techniques and altered the spacing of strings. The physics laboratories at Princeton where Albert Einstein once worked have been used to experiment with variants of torque and longitudinal flex. Practically every element and compound known to modern chemistry has been molded, extruded or laminated. A few tennis technologists have even tried some new tricks with wood, all in hopes of providing instant improvement...
