...notion that nothing can escape from a black hole, have generally come to accept that discovery. And the stuff emitted from little black holes (and big ones too, but far more slowly) is now called Hawking radiation. "In general relativity and early cosmology, Hawking is the hero," says Rocky Kolb, a physicist at Fermilab in Illinois. Caltech Physicist Kip Thorne agrees: "I would rank him, besides Einstein, as the best in our field." And what if a mini-black hole explosion is finally observed? "I would get the Nobel Prize," says Stephen, matter-of-factly...
...complex truths without doodling long equations on paper astounds his colleagues. "He has an ability to visualize four- dimensional geometry that is almost unique," says Werner Israel, a University of Alberta physicist who has collaborated with Hawking in relating mini-black holes to the new cosmic-string theories. Observes Kolb: "It's like Michael Jordan playing basketball. No one can tell Jordan what moves to make. It's intuition. It's feeling. Hawking has a remarkable amount of intuition...

...general sense is one of inevitability and the some financial daze in real," said Dr. Jonathan E. Kolb '65. But he added that while he thought was likely some sort of arrangement would go through at McLean, he still had reservation...
...like the trend of medicine to be organized by the corporations," Kolb said. "[If McLean affiliates,] it's going to make it easier for all of medicine to be swallowed up by the corporations. It doesn't really affect me because I'm at McLean, but it is going to affect the guy in Pocattella, Ind. who doesn't have the clout to say, 'let's affiliate, not be bought...
