...easy to see why Sadao Watanbe, the quintet's altoist, wins all the jazz polls in Japan; few foreigners can handle an alto sax with as much feeling and expertise as he can. He has great emotional range. On Davs of Wine and Roses, his tone was liquid, and smooth as marble; on Miles Davis' So What, he spat and screamed in a breathtaking solo. Watanbe (who is really good enough to play with anyone) had excellent support: the melodic, unpretentious piano of Brian Cooke, Saltonstall's bass, and Billy Elgart's drums. Trumpeter Ken Houk still has problems making...
...Brookhaven's apparatus was built around the 33-bev (billion electron volt) Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, and it used a line of magnets and electrostatic separators 400 ft. long to isolate negative K-mesons. Ten of the K-mesons were allowed to enter Brookhaven's 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber every 2½ seconds, and pictures were taken of the results. Two pictures out of 100,000 showed tracks in the LH2 that proved to be the "signatures" of omega-minus particles. They all curved just right and took off in the right directions. Careful calculations with...
...with one another to show their love for Lahr. One of the sourdoughs, after snapping up a comely virgin for $33,000 on the Yukon's bullish bride market, even offers Bert the jus primae noctis. As for the gift, red-haired Julienne Marie, her wistful eyes and liquid singing voice alone are worth twice the auction price. Larry Blyden also shines as Dr. Mosk, the stethoscope-packing con man who masterminds Lahr's hoax...
...truck that rammed into the back of a soft-drink delivery truck in a Detroit suburb two years ago did far more than shatter a load of bottles; it made legal history. When he heard liquid dripping from the broken bottles, said Jack Newby, driver of the soft-drink truck, he was seized with a terrible fear that his gasoline tanks had ruptured. The dripping recalled a wreck he had witnessed years before, when he watched two people burn to death in a fire fed by gasoline. As a result of his fright in the cab of his truck, Newby...
Saturn's second stage, built by Douglas Aircraft Co., is even more sophisticated because of its uncomfortable fuel, liquid hydrogen. Space engineers admire LH2 because it provides better than one-third more thrust than kerosene, but it is hell to handle. It is so light (7% the weight of water) that it requires enormous tanks, elaborately insulated to keep the hydrogen from flashing to vapor. A long list of new materials had to be developed that would not lose their strength at the chilling touch...
