...least 30 tons of fuel in the upper portion of the reactor core, which had lost the protection of cooling water, had reached the dangerously high temperature of 4,000° F or more. A reactor would hit the meltdown point at about 5,200° F-a level that ''may have'' been reached by a small but still undetermined portion of the fuel...
...would have to demonstrate a readiness to repel any North Korean adventurism, but without any provocative overdramatization. All U.S. units in South Korea, including the Second Infantry Division and the 72 F-4 fighters of the 8,000-man Air Force detachment, were put on a "defense condition 3" level of alert, two notches below a red alert. The Pentagon sent the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk toward a South Korean port and rushed two Airborne Warning and Control planes to the area to monitor North Korean military movements. U.S. diplomats in Peking and Moscow urged the Chinese and Soviets...
...trim and handsome outsider, Joseph Canizaro The company that carries his name has just opened a 32-floor office tower, the first of many buildings in Ms Canal Place complex astride the roiling Mississippi Early in 1 980, dirt will fly for a 25-story structure and three-level retail mall next door Canizaro is a millionaire who surveys the city, which he is doing much to change, from an office chocked with multicolored hard hats (''The boys working on Canal Place gave me the blue one''); a huge book of Persian art from the Shah...
...these four forces, Einstein concerned himself with only two--electromagnetism and gravity--because the others were simply beyond his experimental means. The two others, which exist on the sub-atomic level, were developed to resolve specific problems. Ernest Rutherford's celebrated early twentieth century experiments on nuclear density uncovered an empirical contradiction: all the protons (positively charged species) in a given atom are concentrated in its nucleus; since like charges repel one another, the nucleus should theoretically burst apart. So physicists coined the "strong" forces--those which specifically...
...physicists to make stunning predictions of the relativity poorly understood weak forces, almost all of which have since been vindicated. Perhaps the most important of these predictions is that of the existence of "neutral currents," first observed as recently as 1974. These currents have an analogue on the electromagnetic level...
