Corwin, an economics major, completed his coursework in spite of debilitating therapy, in time to graduate with his class last spring...
...sponsoring these reforms, Lockwood has transformed the services committee--which he chairs--from a low-profile body which dealt largely with mundane issues, such as library hours, to a major force on the council. In what appears to be a concerted effort, many of the council's most liberal members this year joined the services committee, council members have said...
...fundamental building blocks of matter and energy, the SSC -- or the Ronald Reagan Center for High Energy Physics, as its Texas boosters want to call it -- would attract the best experimental physicists in the world, with their attendant prestige. More important, it would give its home state a major economic boost. The machine's tunnel, a ring through which subatomic particles would race at nearly the speed of light, is to be 150 ft. underground and 53 miles in circumference; building it and the lab's 20 buildings could provide jobs for an estimated 4,000 construction workers. The completed...
...such bursts will spontaneously transform themselves into particles of matter. The SSC would make these extremely concentrated energy bursts by using its magnets to guide protons, moving at nearly 186,000 miles per second, around the enormous ring in opposite directions. Then they would be forced to collide. The major difference between the SSC and the largest accelerator that currently exists -- the Tevatron, at Fermilab near Chicago -- is size and, therefore, power. The SSC would produce some 20 times as much energy as the Tevatron can and would generate correspondingly more interesting particles. Among the discoveries are certain...
...will slice 16% off the state's tightly controlled auto rates in 1989. Aimed at easing a 27% jump in premiums over the past two years, the measure includes several cost-saving features to placate insurers. Yet such provisions could not halt a continuing exodus that has seen six major firms abandon the state since 1986. Allstate joined their ranks last week, when the Sears subsidiary said it would stop selling policies in Massachusetts to escape the state's stringent regulations...
