Some executives speculate that the apparent disaster could turn into a valuable laboratory for finding long-run solutions to the networks' financial bind. Forced to experiment with potentially less expensive ways of filling prime time, the networks may discover methods that will last far longer than the strike. Today's...
The physicists reached their conclusion as the result of an experiment conducted in Greenland last summer. They lowered a supersensitive gravity meter into a mile-deep hole bored in glacial ice -- chosen because its density is more uniform than that of rock -- and monitored the gravitational pull as the meter...
Jim Thomas, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, praises the technical precision of Ander's experiment, but cautions that measuring gravity in holes is inexact at best. He points out, for example, that an aberration in the earth's crust might have caused the unusual measurements. "What we...
Today his work is enthusiastically supported by the timber companies, and, says Flowers, 59, "I can retire with an easy conscience." His experiment, though, cost him $12,000. That personal sacrifice caught the attention of Ann Medlock and John Graham, a married couple who run a small foundation in Langley...
