...Union's forces back together. "Again," he wrote his wife, "I have been called upon to save the country." In September 1862, Lee invaded the North for the first time, and-with sensational luck-McClellan's men came upon a copy of his orders, detailing the exact positions of the divided rebel army. "Here is a paper with which, if I cannot whip Bobbie Lee," said McClellan, "I will be willing to go home." Though he might have defeated Lee once and for all at Antietam, the "young Napoleon" hovered near defeat himself, barely managing to check...
...years' research into the perfection of "atomic fingerprinting" for old masters at Pittsburgh's Mellon Institute. The technique, originally developed by Dutch scientists, consists of taking flecks of paint from genuine Rembrandts and Vermeers, then bombarding them with neutrons in a reactor in order to measure their exact chemical impurities. In time, the Mellon Institute hopes to compile a library of chemical analyses of the different types of paint used by a dozen famous artists-or at least the type of paint used in the country and period of each...
Virtually all of this Republican cross-over will go to McCarthy, observers agree, since he offers the only clear alternative to Nixon. No one is willing to predict the exact amount of cross-over votes McCarthy will get, but it will be substantial--perhaps enough to beat Johnson.

Detecting so minute a change was no easy task. Using data gathered by the Haystack antenna and by other observatories, the researchers plotted both Earth's and Mercury's orbits to a degree of accuracy never before obtained; it was essential to know Mercury's exact distance at the time of the test to calculate the difference in round-trip time caused by solar gravity...
