The first Article states merely that "The Club shall be perpetual." The second provides for alteration and amendment of the constitution, except for Article...
From its small beginnings, the Club has grown tremendously. By the turn of the century, there were 1,410 members; by the First World War, 4,589; and at the heighth of the depression in 1931, 6,444.

Particle Wanted. Dr. Alvarez, spokesman for the group who made the discovery, wants to make plain that catalytic mesons do not offer direct means for releasing fusion energy in commercial amounts. There is no dependable source of mesons at present except giant machines like the Berkeley bevatron. Worse still, mu mesons are short-lived, decaying into other particles in two-millionths of a second, so they have little time to act as catalysts. If a longer-lived particle could be found that does the catalytic service, the reaction would look promising indeed. The Russian physicist Artemy Alikhanian claims to have...

In his novel, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, Thornton Wilder relates that her beauty was so marred by smallpox that she never afterwards left her mansion, except when she sought solace in a convent. Her nickname, La Perricholi, is supposedly a combination of chola, which in Peru means a woman of mixed birth, and perra, which means bitch...
