...George Tames, Alfred Eisenhstaedt, Howard Sochurek and I -- are still taking pictures for publication. The speed and sweep of photojournalism's technical achievements can be appreciated by considering the life of one of its greatest pioneers, Fritz Goro. He began his career in the 1930s using flash powder to light his subjects, and just before he died in 1986, he was using a laser beam for light...
These odds were calculated by observing the behavior of the Z particle, the heaviest known unit of matter. Zs are produced in the collision of smaller particles that have been accelerated to nearly the speed of light. By creating large numbers of Z particles, physicists were able to establish the energy range required to form a Z. Working backward from that energy range, they then calculated whether the laws of nature could accommodate more than the three known types of matter. Last week's results made it more than likely that the answer...
...Barkin heroine will tussle with any man on even terms, perhaps to the death. In Mary Lambert's gorgeous, complex ghost story Siesta, Barkin is already dead, but that cannot stop her from a convulsive rendezvous with the aerialist of her dreams. Or from looking sensational in a stop-light red dress and a body sculpted by daily workouts. These two films, though, were cult objects for cinephiles and discriminating voyeurs. It took Sea of Love, which earned $40 million in its four weeks, to make her a pricey Hollywood commodity...
Michael's Pub, where the band finally landed a regular gig in 1971, has been the scene of more than a few light moments. When the Mets were in the 1986 World Series, sports-junkie Woody showed up with a tiny transistor television and propped it up on his music stand so he could watch the game while he played. Trombonist Dick Dreiwitz and his wife Barbara, the tuba player, tell of a surprise visit by Groucho Marx. "After one of Woody's solos," says Barbara, "Groucho reached up and handed him a few pennies as a tip." Psychiatrist...
...well. By creating an electromagnetic "cradle," he has kept a lone electron suspended in a vacuum for months at a time. He has also succeeded in observing the fabled quantum jump of a single trapped atom as it absorbed energy and then emitted it in the form of light...
