Making his Broadway debut. Radio Disk Jockey Richard Hayes is a personable and vocally authoritative Brad, but the show suffers from a split personality. In Act I, it hunts with the hipsters; in Act II, it dines by candlelight with the squares. By musical's end, the satiric fumes have evaporated, and The Nervous Set has merely settled down...
...most powerful atom smasher now scheduled, and certainly the biggest. To build it, engineers will drive a tunnel two miles through the solid rock of a minor mountain near Palo Alto. This rocky housing will keep its radiation from frying innocent bystanders. At the accelerator's business end will be a complex knot of laboratory buildings stuffed with futuristic apparatus...
...times around a circular path, giving them more and more speed. But at the higher energies, the whirling particles are hard to control and give low beam intensity. Linear accelerators are relatively simple in principle, but tremendously complicated to engineer, and require much more space. Starting electrons at one end of a long, straight path, they push them toward the other end by a carefully timed series of microwave pulses, producing very high energies with the electrons concentrated in a high-intensity beam...
...described by Dr. Kantrowitz last week, Avco's miniature sun is a tube 30 inches long filled with very low-pressure gas. When a 4 billion-watt electrical spark from a bank of condensers is discharged across the end of the tube, the magnetic field that surrounds it should expand-so said Gold's theory-into the tube, pushing the gas ahead of it in a small, tame version of a solar shock wave...
...end of 1958, at least some portion of the Bible had been published in 1,136 languages and dialects-the complete Bible in 215, the New Testament in 273, one or more Gospels in 648. During the year the society added three new languages: Huichol and Otomi (Mexican Indian) and Combe (Spanish Guinea). But there are more than 1,000 tongues in which no part of the Bible has yet appeared...
