...School constitutional scholar; Alan Dershowitz, 35, Harvard Law School criminal-law expert; Gerald Gunther, 46, Stanford Law School constitutional specialist; Philip Kurland, 51, University of Chicago constitutional expert and editor of the annual Supreme Court Review; and Arthur Schlesinger, 55, City University of New York historian and author of the forthcoming The Imperial Presidency and one-time aide to President Kennedy.

What mysterious powers lurk inside them? In short, says Gunther Stent in a recent article in Scientific American, there would have to be some revolutionary new paradigm to explain what now seems to be a complete breach of elementary physical laws...
