...that Oppenheimer was being disposed of in an administrative hearing for which courtroom niceties did not apply. The outcome was a foregone conclusion. As a deliberate act of political rehabilitation, John Kennedy would invite Oppenheimer to the White House in 1961 and later arrange for him to receive the Enrico Fermi Prize. Yet until his death in 1967, Oppenheimer would never again feel comfortable as a public advocate for a sane nuclear policy...
...cuts along with increases in public spending. Result: a growing budget shortfall, which the European Commission warns will equal 3.6% of Italy's GDP in 2005, well above euro-zone limits. "Berlusconi wanted to be like Bush, pursuing an expansionist policy by running a deficit," says opposition MP Enrico Letta. Having patched over coalition differences, the PM is playing it safe - he's stopped calling for income tax cuts, and though he dare not renounce the League's federalist goals, prospects for action on that front have dimmed. For the next year, Berlusconi's main mission will simply...
...last June led a rally to protest the new Coke in San Francisco's Union Square: "At first I was numb. Then I was shocked. Then I started to yell and scream and run up and down." Archrival Pepsi professed to be just as delighted. Crowed Roger Enrico, president of Pepsi-Cola USA, about new Coke: "Clearly this is the Edsel of the '80s. This was a terrible mistake. Coke's got a lemon on its hands, and now they're trying to make lemonade." On Wall Street, though, Coke jumped $2.37 a share on the announcement, while PepsiCo stock...
...only 24 when he went up in the Great Artiste, but he had already seen a lot of the new world of split atoms. As a physics student straight out of college, he was taken by his professor to work with the people at the University of Chicago under Enrico Fermi. At the age of 21, Agnew was one of 43 people to witness the world's first man-made nuclear chain reaction, in a squash court under the football field. A few years later he was testing yield-measuring devices at Wendover Air Base in Utah, where Colonel Paul...
...those days there were only a handful of places in the whole country that knew anything about nuclear energy--nuclear physics. It was just in '38 that Enrico Fermi got the Nobel Prize for his work with neutrons, so it was all really brand new. What happened was that the heads of the few places--Ernest Lawrence at Berkeley, Arthur Compton at Chicago, John Dunning at Columbia--they contacted all their former graduates and said, 'Come on back.' They were told that if they knew any semiliterate undergraduates, bring 'em too. It's for the war. So my professor...
