Intracellular structures responsible for cancer in the livers of rats are being subjected to powerful electron microscope scrutiny by Keith R. Porter, professor of Biology...
...million electron volt Harvard Cyclotron has recently treated malignant tumors in four patients, and early results indicate that the Cyclotron may be instrumental in the development of cures for cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease...
Every morning at Cambridge University, 3,401 budding scientists peer into electron microscopes or ponder the dynamics of rocket propulsion in air-conditioned labs that gleam with ultramodern glass and aluminum. Then, with medieval black gowns flapping, they ride off on rusty bicycles to another world: lunch with 3,751 arts undergraduates (never "students") fresh from reading Sophocles and Shakespeare in a library built by Christopher Wren. Soon scientists and classicists are sunk in shabby armchairs before gasping gas heaters, sipping sherry with their tutors. All around them is a happy blend of past and future: the green-lawned beauty...
Just beyond the spark chamber, shielded by many feet of concrete and steel, curves the half-mile ring of Brookhaven's 30-bev (30 billion electron volts) synchrotron, world's largest atom smasher. If the physicists' calculations are correct, when the synchrotron goes into operation one of its products will be a vast number of neutrinos, snippets of energy powerful enough to penetrate the shielding and slip into the chamber, where they may be spotted by means of spark trails. Scientists expect to decipher the trails and learn some of the deepest secrets of the universe...
...answer an obvious question about these figures, note that they do not include the annual operating budgets for Widener and Houghton Libraries ($2,100,000); but they exclude also the Cambridge Electron Accelerator ($2,600,000), the Observatory ($1,200,000), Museum of Comparative Zoology and Peabody ($870,000), the various social science centers and, in fact, all other institutions that do not show up on Departmental budgets. If these expenses are taken into consideration, the share of Federal funds available to the humanistic scholar gets even smaller. Moreover, the total departmental funds available to the average scientists and social...
