...only 6? an hour instead of 10?, but would not take a strike for it. Customers have been warning that a stoppage would only accelerate their drift to competitive materials such as plastics, aluminum, concrete, glass and wood. These were important pressures for settlement on both sides, but even heavier pressure came from the Kennedy Administration, whose powers over tax, labor and antitrust laws make quite a nutcracker. Sighed one union official: "Let's face it-we're going to be living with the Kennedys for a helluva long time." This, according to one insider, is what...
...determine the extent of hybridization, the DNA strand of one strain of bacteria is made heavier by introducing heavy nitrogen. If this chain "mates" with a chain of normal weight to form a hybrid, the weight of the resulting DNA will lie midway between the normal and heavy...
Round & Round. The scientists shoot bursts of electrons into the accelerator at close to 186,000 miles per second, which is the speed of light, ultimate speed limit in the universe. Pushing them harder and harder does not make electrons go much faster. Instead they get heavier, turning energy into mass according to Einstein's famous equation: E = mc². In the Cambridge accelerator, the electrons get moving at 99.9999996% of the speed of light, and have enough energy to weigh 12,000 times as much as when they were at rest...
...When each bunch of electrons enters, the magnetism is just strong enough to make them move in a circle, keeping away from the ring's walls. Round and round they go, picking up energy from 16 electrically charged "cavities" arranged around the ring. The added energy makes them heavier and harder to deflect, so each time they make the circuit the magnets must grow stronger to hold them on course...
...offset ink is heavier and more expensive than letterpress ink. and because it does not as readily absorb into the paper, the ink must either be artificially dried or the presses must be slowed to give the ink time to dry. For years, the fastest web offset presses ran at about one-third the speed of the fastest letter-presses. The tackier offset ink. together with the rubber cylinder, collects paper dust, which can botch a printing job. The web offset process is more wasteful of paper than letterpress. And on long offset-press runs, the ink tends to emulsify...
