Next year the Concord's Owner Arthur Winarick may have to. Competition in the Catskills is continuous. Million-dollar swimming pools, championship golf courses, lobbies as big as Latin American airports are commonplace now. Grossinger's, affectionately known as the "G," even boasts its own aircraft landing field. If Kutsher's, another high-priced hostelry, should suddenly sprout a polo field, the G or the Concord might be forced to build an artificial sea beach, complete with waves...

If high-energy particles (e.g., protons from a cyclotron) are shot into the ether at the right moment, lines of bubbles form on their trails, thus showing where the particles go and how they interact with atoms in the ether. When Inventor Glaser delivered his classic paper at a Washington physics convention. Physicist Luis Alvarez, associate director of the Radiation...
