Nonetheless, the mass-circulation newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda the next day achieved a bizarre fusion of conservative-radical coup rumors; it said ; military forces had been put on alert in early September to thwart a planned takeover by radicals who had organized armed assault groups. "The facts in this article were invented," Defense Minister Dmitri Yazov protested in Parliament. "No one is is preparing paratroopers for actions against the people." But even that did not kill the conspiracy talk. Moscow Mayor Gavril Popov and members of the Russian Federation government charged that Communist Party provocateurs and military hard-liners were trying...
...hometown, where "there was always somebody with a guitar. I learned that with three chords I could transpose just about any song and play it." Now Black's traveling band reflects his informal and eclectic approach. "The guys," he says, "have played every kind of music imaginable, from jazz fusion to hard country, so we've got room to stretch...
Nestled on Albany St. at the edge of the square, a set of red brick buildings marks the beginning of the new Cambridge, a cluster of high-tech firms with names like BASF Bioresearch, Transkaryotic Therapies, and Kurzweil. But next door to the MIT plasma fusion center, at 240 Albany St., lies a complex of two trailers that seems oddly misplaced in this new industrial mecca...
...results have been both disappointing and intriguing: the experiments have detected far fewer neutrinos than solar models predicted. Scientists were especially baffled by a recent report from a Soviet-American research team that set up a detector to monitor neutrinos emitted by the fusion of hydrogen atoms, the sun's main reaction. After four months of operation near the Soviet town of Baksan, the experiment has yet to turn up a single solar neutrino...
Experimental evidence indicates that neutrinos come in three varieties: the electron neutrino, the muon neutrino and the tau neutrino. Solar fusion gives off the electron type. Bahcall and Bethe speculate that electron neutrinos change into the muon or tau versions somewhere between the sun and Earth. "It's as if they started out sweet," marvels Bethe, who won the Nobel Prize in 1967 for explaining how nuclear fusion powers the sun, "and then suddenly turned salty." Thus the Baksan experiment may have come up empty- handed because it was not designed to detect muon or tau neutrinos...
