This year CERN scored its crowning achievement by confirming the existence of three particles, the W+, W-and Z°, known collectively as intermediate vector bosons. They were predicted to be the agency of the weak force. That feat was a coup for a resurgent European physics community struggling to get back on its feet after World War II. It also irritated American scientists, who had regarded themselves as the world champions in high-energy physics. Ironically, the leader of the successful CERN experiment, who may win a Nobel...

IBM has already captured 21% of the $7.5 billion U.S. market for personal computers, a staggering feat in so short a time, and is virtually tied with pacesetter Apple Computer, which had a four-year head start...

...took the squad several years to reach such prominence, Sands quickly achieved recognition by knocking off several of the country's top players. And in doing so, the Los Angeles native became the first Harvard All American tennis player since the 1920s. In fact, the giant killer managed the feat three times, becoming Harvard's only triple All American netman...
