...important discovery in 1952 Ivy Livingston and two other physicists which paved the way for an accelerator of this size. The principle of alternating gradient, or strong focusing, made possible the Brookhaven proton synchroton, which produces up to 30 billion electron volts...

For years, the bureaucracy left unspent most of the millions allocated for repairs to the schools (267 of them are 50 years old or more); the backlog of needed repairs is about $75 million. Bureaucracy stifles new teaching methods, which flourish in suburban public schools. Each year...
