Until that time, some ground-based scientists continue searching for signals that the planets exist, even if they cannot be seen. One, Professor of Physics Paul Horowitz, is currently searching for radio signals from intelligent life forms, using an 84-ft.-diameter radio telescope owned by the University and located in Harvard, Mass. Already, he said, several colleagues and others have inquired about any readings he may have taken in the area of Vega, just in case there were some planets--and beings--orbiting around...
...tell you the truth, conventional theory in this area says that Vega is not a good candidate," said Horowitz, explaining that the star is not of the size and intensity expected to develop "habitable" planets. Nevertheless, he said, he will most likely take a peek in Vega's direction when he next goes to the radio telescope in coming weeks...
...Harvard Physics Professor Paul Horowitz activated a sophisticated radio telescope designed to defect deliberate signals from extra terrestrials. The 84 foot telescope will scan between 10,000 and 100,000 stars over the next four years (For a description of other lively research projects Harvard professors worked on during the year, see pages...
...sprung into being: behavioral medicine, to battle stress-related illness; psychoneuroimmunology, to explore the way emotional states affect the body's defenses. Major corporations have established elaborate stress-management programs to help harried executives cope. And around the country, but especially in mellow-minded California, says Psychiatrist Mardi Horowitz of the University of California at San Francisco, "everyone is massaging, jogging and hot-tubbing to reduce this cumulative stress...
...considered by his doctors to have been crucial to his remarkable endurance after receiving the artificial heart. Lonely heart attack patients have been shown to live longer when given a pet. Herpes sufferers seem to be helped just by participating in a self-help group. Says U.C.S.F. Psychiatrist Horowitz: "These self-help groups, for everything from single parents to rape victims, are very useful. They replace the smalltown systems that we've lost...
