Called Hilac (heavy ion linear accelerator), the Berkeley machine is 112 ft. long and about 10 ft. in diameter. Instead of hurling protons, deuterons and other light bits of atomic chaff, it uses as its projectiles such comparatively heavy elements as nitrogen (atomic weight 14) and neon (atomic weight 20), which have effects that are different from those of smaller projectiles...
...abstract art was dominated by the geometrical and almost architectural paintings that grew out of cubism and culminated in Piet Mondrian's austere compositions in primary red, white and blue. But in the past decade has come a new experiment with intense, expressive forms that use flowing, linear rhythms as a kind of "handwriting" or "gesture-painting," linking Western art and the ancient Oriental art of calligraphy...
Since the end of the war, Dr. Alvarez has divided his time between electronics and nuclear physics, scoring a long series of scientific triumphs. He developed the proton linear accelerator, an important atomic tool, and he holds patents in radar and other branches of electronics. A crack weekend golfer, he invented an electronic golf-practice gadget, which uses a photo-electric eye to spy on the motion of the club. One of these he gave to President Eisenhower. He drives an impressive yellow Lincoln convertible, and he does not see why scientists should not be prosperous as well as famous...
