There are now thousands of Ph.D.s unable to find anyone willing to pay them for their hard-earned knowledge of Renaissance painting or the history of French monasticism, but any Sunday newspaper overflows with ads appealing for experts in electromagnetic capability, integrated logistics support or laser electro-optics. Says George W. Valsa, supervisor of the college-recruiting section at Ford: "We are not ready to sign a petition to burn down liberal arts colleges, but don't expect us to go out and hire many liberal arts graduates." Ford does hire nearly 1,000 graduates a year, and most...
...Cabrera, 35, an assistant professor of physics at Stanford University, reports an "event" that Cabrera thinks may have been caused by a monopole. If Cabrera is correct, his discovery could validate the various "grand unification theories," which postulate the existence of superheavy monopoles and hold that three natural forces-electro-magnetism, radioactivity and nuclear bonding-are manifestations of a single grand force. Monopoles might also account for the mass in the universe that cosmologists say is "missing" and would confirm current ideas about the basic building blocks of matter...
...While the U.S. still leads the Soviet Union by two to seven years in the fields of microelectronics and computer technology, it is quickly losing its edge in electro-optical sensors, guidance and navigation systems, optics and propulsion...
...expert on the electronics of communication, electro-mechanical systems and acoustics, the French-born LeCorbeiller possessed "a quality one often associates with French people--the ability to take complicated subjects and make them clear," I. Bernard Cohen, Thomas Professor of the History of Science, said yesterday...
...number of electric cars could increase dramatically if Detroit's carmakers ever decide to start building them. Closest is General Motors, which has produced a prototype, the Electro Vette (a Chevette with lead-acid batteries). Last winter GM set up an electric car "project center," where it is working on an advanced zinc-nickel oxide battery with a range of 100 miles. GM EVs could be rolling off assembly lines as soon as the fall of 1983. Ford Motor Co. is working on a sodium-sulfur battery scheduled for lab tests...
