...laureates, but it is also a propitious time for scientists to reveal discoveries that may win future Nobels. Last week, even as this year's Nobel winners were reacting to their awards, two teams of physicists made just such a landmark announcement. In rival statements -- one from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California, the other from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva -- scientists disclosed findings they say establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the universe contains precisely three fundamental types, or families, of matter. No more, no less...
...quest for that measurement has become a tight race between European and U.S. physicists. With the new LEP, the Europeans are confident that they can win, but they will have to hurry. A U.S. accelerator called the Stanford linear collider (SLC), built in a hurry (3 1/2 years) and on the cheap ($115 million), has been struggling since February to measure the Z 0. Despite delays in getting the machine up and running, physicists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, in California, have already produced 120 Z 0s. That is enough to calculate the particle's mass more accurately than...
...Things have changed for the better, but the struggle is not linear. It's dynamic and ever changing. Jesse Owens and Joe Louis struggled for the legitimacy of black athletic talent. Later, Jackie Robinson, Bill Russell and others struggled for access. In the late '60s, athletes like Muhammad Ali, Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Arthur Ashe and Kareem ((Abdul-Jabbar)) fought for recognition of the dignity of the black athlete. Now we're in the struggle for power, and that's the most difficult of all. If we can broaden democratic participation in sports, then there is at least the possibility...
...ruling prohibits expansion of available commuter parking from 1973 levels. While that decision affected all communities, its effect has been particularly noticeable in Cambridge, a city that, according to Parking Commissioner George Teso, has more linear feet of cars than of streets...
...result, Kossoff's work went naturally against the grain. A figurative painter when abstract art was the rage, he sinned by embracing premature neoexpressionism back in the '50s and '60s. When painting was required to be thin, linear and efflorescent, Kossoff stuck to delving into the images and people around him and the memories within. His scenes of public baths, markets and Underground entrances are packed with small figures, stuck in their social matrix as though in jam (especially given Kossoff's dense pigment) -- a pictorial equivalent, as it were, of the double meaning of the Hebrew word olam, which...
