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...
...r.p.m. records soon became obsolete in the LP age. Last week Victor brought him back in his finest reincarnation, a package containing all 32 sonatas on 13 LPs, plus Schnabel's own meticulous edition of the piano scores. It is an extraordinary fusion of free-swinging artistry and absolute faithfulness to Beethoven's intentions, written or implied...
Boos for Ike. The Springfield response was good enough to get him really steamed up for California. In San Francisco he poured on the sarcasm ("You've got to respect [Eisenhower's] clear and forthright opposition to inflation, deflation, fission, fusion and confusion, doubt, doom and gloom, fog and smog"). And once again he asked: "Are we seriously asked to trust . . . the decision over the hydrogen bomb to ... Nixon?" And once more, the crowd roared: "No!" In Los Angeles that night, 25,000 aggressive, confident Democrats caught the new spirit as Adlai carried on at Gilmore Field. They...
...Fiorello H. La Guardia, widow of New York's onetime Fusion mayor, a member of Citizens for Eisenhower in 1952, will become a national vice chair man of the Volunteers for Stevenson Kefauver...
Slow-Falling Dust. Last week the Shunkotsu Maru reported radioactive dust from a third explosion that apparently took place on June 12 or 13. Analysis showed that it was also of the fission-fusion-fission type, but for some reason, perhaps small size or extremely high altitude, it did not stir up air or water waves strong enough to reach Japan. A small earth wave was detected on June 12, and a slightly stronger one on June...
