...elusive little bugs are smaller than typical bacteria but are generally bigger than true viruses. Even with an electron microscope they are so difficult to corner and classify that their very name is vague-PPLO (for pleuropneumonia-like organisms). But these days that name keeps popping up in lab reports from all over the world.* The baffling microbes have already been indicted for complicity in causing diseases ranging from puerperal (childbed) fever to the "viral pneumonia" that afflicts so many recruits in boot camps. Now they are even being suspected as a possible cause of cancer...

...million-dollar bubble chamber of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator--considered by many scientists the heart of its operation--may not be used again unless the CEA obtain funds for a new building to house...
JULY 6--An explosion and three-alarm fire rips through the experimental hall of the Cambridge Electron Accelerator, injuring eight Harvard and M.I.T. scientists and technicians and causing at least $1 million in damage. The explosion blew the roof off the circular experimental hall and severely damaged the bubble chamber then being filled with 100 gallons of liquid hydrogen...
...Physical Review Letters, Reines reported that he and a team of Case Institute and South African scientists detected seven natural neutrinos-not many, but a hopeful beginning. These neutrinos, each of which registered energies well in excess of 10 billion electron volts, presumably were produced by the interaction of primary cosmic rays with the earth's atmosphere. Except for their superhigh energies, the natural neutrinos appeared to be about the same as those created...
