...vain attempt to find quarks that had combined with stable atoms. Instead of being electrically neutral, they reasoned, such atoms would have fractional charges imparted by the quarks-enabling scientists to separate them out in an electric field and analyze them. Because quarks would more likely combine with heavier atoms, one scientist has suggested looking for quark-bearing atoms in oysters, which tend to concentrate the heavier elements in the seas...

...they played for nothing in the pure air of Haight-Ashbury, a hilly San Francisco neighborhood.

He had solid credentials: an Olympic welterweight championship in 1960, only one loss in 192 amateur and professional bouts. And he also had the crowd. Madison Square Garden was awash with Italian flags and posters pleading DAGLIELA ALLA PANZZA! (Freely: Paste him in the belly!) But Griffith, 29, was the tough ex-street fighter from the Virgin Islands who had killed Benny Paret in the ring, won the welterweight championship three times before...
