Called the large electron-positron collider (LEP), it will smash together electrons and positrons -- "antimatter" particles that are similar to electrons except that their charge is positive rather than negative. From the debris of the collisions, which involve particles traveling at nearly the speed of light, physicists hope to get information that will solidify -- or upset -- their understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter and energy. Says Carlo Rubbia, CERN's director general: "This is the main road in basic science. You never know where the main road is really going to take you." Agrees Steven Weinberg...
Finally, nearly four years later, Stolar got the green light to leave in March. He and his Soviet-born wife Gita decided to return to his hometown on July 4. Once in the Windy City, Stolar donned an I LOVE CHICAGO button, took in a baseball game at Wrigley Field and mused, "I wouldn't be surprised if I decided to move back here...
...tribute," Roberts says, "to the artists who were the masters of the form." There are two Ellington compositions, In a Mellow Tone and a supernal rendition of Single Petal of a Rose, and a version of Thelonious Monk's classic Blue Monk that Roberts brings off with such light witchery that the song sounds reborn. Truth (which also boasts five Roberts originals) has all the well-studied funk of the new jazz as performed by the likes of Wynton Marsalis...
Dalton's first outing as Bond, in the 1987 The Living Daylights, was an obvious attempt to get away from the light-hearted jokester that Roger Moore had made of the role. Dalton, a well-known stage actor (he used to be with the Royal Shakespeare company) was supposed to be a newer, younger Sean Connery, who may not have played the role the way Ian Fleming envisioned it, but who is nonetheless the paradigmatic Bond...
...industry. In House testimony last week, the Coast Guard reported that it had recorded 6,700 oil spills during 1988, ten of which involved at least 100,000 gals. While total spills were down from 10,000 in 1984, environmentalists contend that the level remains unacceptably high, especially in light of the poor results of most mop-up efforts. Cleanup crews recover on average no more than 10% of major oil spills, a performance that has failed to improve during the past 20 years, according to Amy Stolls, editor of Oil Spill Intelligence Report. Declares Alaska Governor Steven Cowper...
