...become world champs? Unlikely. But Torre, 36, who practices self-hypnosis "to eliminate the negative in my approach to life," has his team thinking positive and feeling loved. "The key to the game is being relaxed," he says. Coach Willie Mays has a simple explanation for Torre's instant success: "He treats his players like men, not schoolboys...
...springs from an inner-city situation. These are people that don't have the money for ice skates to play hockey, they don't often have someone to take a great deal of interest in them--they are less interested in being a scholar-athlete, they want the instant gratification playing right away...
...fact, it did so-not in the U.S., although it soon got behind the idea, but in Europe, where the response was instant. That same night, Britain's Foreign Secretary Bevin began arranging the conferences in which Europe's nations would assess their needs as a region and go to the U.S. with a program in hand. As Marshall intended, all of Europe-Russia included-was invited to take part. But Russia, after the first conference, refused-and declared war on the plan as another example of U.S. efforts to enslave Europe. Finally 16 nations joined in developing...
...move toward light and flavorful drinks." Two years ago, Heublein introduced Hereford's Cows, a line of ready-mixed drinks made from neutral spirits and a nondairy-based milk simulant that is sold in seven vividly colored flavors. The mild-mannered, 30-proof Cows were an instant hit among such relatively "dry" groups as women, kids and elderly people. Some liquor men, though, have their doubts about the staying power of these milkshakes-with-a-kick. Says Vice President Paul Shuman of Louisville-based Glenmore Distilleries Co., which rushed out strawberry, banana and white-chocolate 30-proof Snowshakes...
Other groups of scientists are placing their bets on a different technique: "inertial confinement." This process involves the high-power laser or electron-beam bombardment of tiny pellets crammed with deuterium and tritium. The sudden application of the energetic beams causes instant vaporization, or boiling away, of the outer surface of the sphere. As the pellet coating flies outward, it pushes back against the deuterium and tritium, compressing and heating the mixture. If the impinging beams are energetic enough, the effect will be so great that the nuclei will fuse, releasing energy like a miniature H-bomb. Among others, researchers...
