...identified by the A.H.A. as cholesterol-producing villains, fought back fiercely. "The idea that replacing some 'saturated' fats [animal and hydrogenated fats] with 'unsaturated' fats will help prevent heart disease is clearly unproved," said the council. Manipulating the diet in favor of unsaturated fats (chiefly liquid vegetable oils), suggested the council darkly, could even be dangerous to health...
...PRIZE OF ONE, headlined the Washington Post-and so it was when Dr. Donald Glaser, 34, this year's Nobel laureate in physics, married Ruth Louise ("Bonnie") Thompson, 23, a University of California math major. First thrown together in a U.C. radiation lab, where he was testing his liquid hydrogen bubble chamber and she was a part-time programmer for a computer, the Glasers winged off last week toward Stockholm and a honeymoon helped along with $43,627 in Nobel money...
...teaching physics at the University of Michigan. Soon he got the first glimmerings of the seemingly wild idea that won him the Nobel Prize. After watching bubbles appear in freshly opened beer he suspected that they might be affected somehow by cosmic-ray particles striking through the gas-charged liquid. If this was so, the bubbles should be useful for detecting high-energy radiation...
...principle behind the bubble chamber is that high-energy charged particles (electrons, protons, mesons, etc.) ionize materials that they pass through by knocking electrons off atoms. Glaser reasoned that these ions should repel one another, and that if they are formed in a liquid that is about to start boiling, they should show as lines of rapidly growing bubbles along the tracks of the particles. This is just what happens when a bubble chamber is made and manipulated in precisely the right way, which is not easy...
...Glaser's bubble chambers were working fine. Physicists, it now appeared, had been waiting for just such a piece of apparatus. Every serious physics laboratory now has at least one bubble chamber. The biggest one, at Berkeley, is 72 inches long, filled with liquid hydrogen, and cost...
