...season, and a breathlessness lies upon the land. The empty, harvested rice fields shimmer in the heat, while the broken shells of former schools and hospitals dot the countryside. The supply of electricity is erratic, and most of the main roads out of Phnom Penh peter out within an hour's drive from the capital...
...physicists offered several theories about where the Utah experiments had gone wrong. Pons and Fleischmann claimed that they had caused the nuclei of deuterium atoms, a heavy form of hydrogen, to fuse together to form helium, thus releasing radiation and heat energy. But, the physicists suggested, the radiation detected might have come from radon that was already present in the laboratory's air. The helium reported could also have seeped into the apparatus from...
Moreover, the physicists challenged the Utah team's heat measurements, saying they were probably faulty because the solution in the setup was unstirred, the temperature was not uniform and the thermometer was placed in a "hot spot." That conclusion moved Stanford physicist Walter Meyerhof to turn poetic. Said he: "Tens of millions of dollars are at stake, dear sister and brother,/ Because scientists put a thermometer at one place and not another...
Shortly after Sarasin's attack, School Superintendent Mary Lou McGrath ordered that the school's ventilation system operate at full force, 24-hours-a-day. Previously, the system had operated on a "heat conservation" basis, said Giroux...
Such experiences also let students -- most of whom will be deluged with job offers from hotel chains and private restaurants upon graduation -- find out if they can stand the heat of the kitchen. Says Hy Eisenberg, manager of Audrey's, the Seekonk, Mass., eatery run by Johnson & Wales College, whose campus is in nearby Providence: "We try to make it like the real world, but of course the students can't get fired...
