...spring meeting of the American Physical Society is normally a cool scientific congregation, but last week's gathering of 1,500 physicists in Baltimore was more like an unusually hot celebrity roast. This elite clan convened a special panel to comment on the instant fame of Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann, two chemists who had dared to venture from their field into the private domain of nuclear physicists. Less than six weeks earlier, Pons, of the University of Utah, and Fleischmann, of Britain's University of Southampton, claimed to have achieved nuclear fusion, the process that powers...
...English instructor at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash. In Dinosaur Brains (John Wiley; $18.95) they examine the prehistoric reptile that lurks inside every employee like an evolutionary time bomb. Beneath that fragile fabric of reason called human intelligence, they argue, beats a powerful engine of lizard logic that demands instant gratification and lives to dominate. While the dinosaurs are long gone, their brains "are the foundations on which our own brains are built...
What gives the songs their staying power is their instant emotional familiarity, the way they seem to carry so much of Snow's emotional freight with no strain. The record's last song, Cardiac Arrest, is a kick, a stops-out rocker that dares to be a little goofy, that cuts the listener a little welcome slack. Even here, though, Snow is laughing at the expense of a mangled heart. The women Snow sings about put themselves at perpetual high risk. I'm Your Girl, the record's midpoint and one of its high points, sounds at first like another...
...conference packed in some 7,000 chemists hoping for what society executive director John Crum called "the experience of a lifetime." The crowd was there to hear chemistry's new superstar, B. Stanley Pons, describe and defend the experiment that had catapulted him and British colleague Martin Fleischmann to instant fame only a few weeks earlier. Pons and Fleischmann claim to have produced controlled nuclear fusion in a jar at room temperature. If Pons, a professor at the University of Utah, and Fleischmann, of the University of Southampton in England, are correct, and if the process can be harnessed economically...
...Crimson played in top form, and McCormack made his re-entry during the ECAC quarterfinal series against RPI. Skating onto the ice for the first time in months, he took the puck and slammed it into RPI's net in the early moments of the game. In an incredible instant that defined an explosion of inward frustration, 'Mack was back...
