Once the electrons have been accelerated or "ponderated," the aim is to direct a beam into the experimental area where measurements can be made of the unusual properties and inter-actions. One method already devised is to place a target in the part of the electron beam; this will transform the electrons into X-rays of very high energy. Because they are uncharged, these rays will not be deflected by the magnetic field of the accelerator and will continue on a straight tangential line into the experimental area. Physicists would also like to be able to deflect a beam...
Chosen by the U.S.'s Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants, the U.S. students are guests of the Russian government, receive a handsome 1,500-ruble ($375) monthly allowance-twice the subsidy Russia gives its own graduate students. Rent costs them one ruble a day, and food is sold at student rates. Most of the men, ranging in age from 22 to 37, are married, but at week's end only 23-year-old Harvard Political Science Student Jeremy Azrael had managed to take his wife. Shy, smiling Gabrielle Azrael says she has no pretensions to a Ph.D...
...America with higher-type diplomacy, said as much in a report he forwarded to White House Chamberlain Harry Hopkins. Hopkins read the report, showed it to Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt asked the 32-year-old Rockefeller to visit him. Upshot of the call: Rockefeller's appointment as coordinator of Inter-American Affairs and the beginning of an intermittent 15-year government career...
During those years, Nelson Rockefeller: ¶As Inter-American Affairs coordinator (1940-44), drew up a blacklist that steered U.S. businessmen away from 1,800 Latin American Nazi-serving firms, also arranged loans by which Latin Americans could buy out German interests. ¶ While Assistant Secretary of State for Latin American Affairs (1944-45), fought for a clause in the United Nations Charter far more vital than he knew; thinking primarily of Latin American relations, he enlisted the aid of Michigan's late, great Senator Arthur Vandenberg, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, in providing for the right...
Normally, and properly, there is a great deal of inter-club sniping on the Cambridge political scene. All of it, however, represents the interplay of already established organizations who have nothing better to do with their time. The case of the Socialists was considerably different...
