...meson, a short-lived particle knocked out of atomic nuclei. In all significant ways K mesons are alike, but some of them, called "tau K mesons," decay into three pi mesons; others, called "theta K mesons," decay into only two pi mesons. For mathematical reasons which physicists can explain only to other physicists, this inconsistent behavior seemed to violate the sacred parity principle. What could be done about it? The experimental evidence was plain, but it was hard to accept. It was as if science found evidence of a material that is repelled rather than attracted by gravitation...
...preserved parity. Showing less respect for scientific propriety, Drs. Lee and Yang suggested last summer at Brookhaven that perhaps the trouble lay not with the K mesons but with parity itself. If parity could be violated on occasions, the odd behavior of the K mesons would be easy to explain...
...fresh and lasting performers in the business. Yet his cultivated madness, often abetted by his wife, Singer Edie Adams, has been delighting and annoying audiences only irregularly and at odd hours since he first leered onscreen seven years ago. Neither Kovacs nor his employer, NBC, seems able to explain why there is still no niche for his comparatively languid, low-pressure' talent in a business that constantly turns lesser comics into living-room idols. In a new effort to solve this puzzle, NBC last week handed Ernie his big challenge: a show following the widely ballyhooed Jerry Lewis solo...
Pure want cannot explain most of the delinquencies. A gang leader from Banks Street told of breaking into a fifth floor room in Adams House one summer and stealing 85 ties. These did not have a great resale value, and the leader obviously had no use for all of them. Here the search for excitement played an important role, for as the leader said, "it's pretty scary business rummaging through someone's room...
