...Lyons (born Leonard Sucher on Manhattan's celebrity-spawning Lower East Side) still works as hard as in the days when he landed a job on the New York Post by successfully bombarding established gossipists with unsolicited material. He gets up at 1 p.m., stalks the famous in likely lairs (El Morocco, Toots Shor's, Sardi's, the Colony) until 3 a.m., when he finally sits down to whack out his column before falling into bed at 6 a.m. Said he, on the recent occasion of receiving an honorary doctor of laws degree from Ohio...
Detroit's Frank Lary threw a high, hard one, sent Washington's Harmon Killebrew sprawling in the dirt. Husky (6 ft., 195 Ibs.) Third Baseman Killebrew was unruffled. He rose, socked the next pitch far into the leftfield bleachers to tie the score. Next time up, he blasted a long three-run homer to bring the Senators a 7-4 victory...
...most familiar particle accelerators are cyclotrons, synchrotrons, etc., which whirl ionized particles many times around a circular path, giving them more and more speed. But at the higher energies, the whirling particles are hard to control and give low beam intensity. Linear accelerators are relatively simple in principle, but tremendously complicated to engineer, and require much more space. Starting electrons at one end of a long, straight path, they push them toward the other end by a carefully timed series of microwave pulses, producing very high energies with the electrons concentrated in a high-intensity beam...
...appreciable size has flown so far, but for a year Aerojet-General Corp. has been ground-testing hydrogen rocket motors at its Sacramento plant. Some tests have yielded more than 100,000 Ibs. of thrust. The treacherous new fuel burns cleanly and smoothly, and it is not as hard to store and get along with as some doubters feared...
Died. Rex Smith, 58, world-roving, hard-living journalist and author; onetime (1937-41) editor of Newsweek, where he revamped editorial policy, helped push circulation from 190,000 to 450,000; editor of the Chicago Sun (1941-42); Vice President of American Airlines in charge of Public Relations (1946-58); of cancer; in Manhattan...
