Physicists have long known that the photon, or light particle, was the carrier of electromagnetism. In 1979 in Hamburg, West Germany, they discovered the gluon, which conveys the strong force. 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...
Stern did not name any potential accomplices to Kujau or sources for the assertions in the diaries. The magazine quietly dropped its claims that East German officials had conspired in the fakery. Kujau, who is currently jailed in Hamburg on a charge of fraud, still insists that the diaries are genuine. But Stern last week took a sample of writing by Kujau, who is a calligrapher, and a selection of the diaries to a professor who specializes in detecting forgeries; he concluded that they probably came from the same hand...

After devoting 80 pages in two previous issues to Hitler, Stern offered a one-page apology to readers. On the cover of the magazine was a cherubic infant. Yet if the picture subliminally hinted at a rebirth of the magazine's self-respect, the image was premature...

Said Lothar Loewe, director of West Berlin's TV station SFB: "The whole affair is the result of checkbook journalism, of which Stern is the worst offender." In a front-page editorial in Hamburg's prestigious weekly newspaper Die Zeit, Editor Theo Sommer said, "When lightweights are combined with heavy money, the controlling responsibilities in journalism are easily lost...
...janitors at the county courthouse up in Way land. He had been let go after the accident, which had incapacitated him for some months ... For reasons of pride, and to justify his carrying the pistol, Rev let the family think him a railroad dick. He did live in Hamburg, in a fleabag hotel near the railroad yard, but whenever he wasn't down in Millville at, formerly, his cousin's store and now the Bullard house, he was in the public library, doing research into various subjects that interested him: the extraction of gold from sea water, Asiatic...
