Since the accelerator is a unique machine, says M. Stanley Livingston, professor of physics at MIT and director of the project, the design of both the tunnel and the measuring apparatus requires a good deal of original work. To this end, physicists and engineers from MIT and Harvard have been busy for the past two years. Livingston expects construction to be finished early in 1960, and, after the machine is "turned up" and tested, operation should begin later that year...
According to Livingston, the electron accelerator is not properly an "accelerator" in the normal sense of the word. An experiment may start with electrons at .99 the speed of light and increase the velocity to .99999 the speed of light--not too great a change in percentage terms. What does increase dramatically is the energy (and the mass). At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is increased to 20 million electron volts. Then...

...residence, Ike and Dief settled themselves in chintz-covered chairs, and for an hour and 35 minutes went over the problems of trade, tariffs and joint defense that they had agreed to discuss. Sitting in with their chiefs were Dulles and External Affairs Chief Sidney Smith, U.S. Ambassador Livingston Merchant and Canada's Ambassador to Washington, Norman Robertson...
Nevertheless, he hobbled off on his tour. Said he to 300 people a day: "I'm your Congressman. What can I do to help you?" In depressed Flint (Buick) and Lansing (Oldsmobile), everybody wanted an end to automobile excise taxes. In rural Livingston County, farmers (average holding: 150 acres) suggested that Congress help by easing farm controls and leaving them alone. Congressman Chamberlain talked as well as listened. Demanded auto workers: Why not levy higher duties on foreign cars? Answered Chamberlain: "We have to let those cars come in. They're our balance in trade for hundreds...
