...then independently conceived a trio of basic building blocks out of which all the other particles -and, indeed, all matter-could be constructed. With his usual literary flair, Gell-Mann named these imaginary particles "quarks" (from James Joyce's cryptic line in Finnegans Wake: "Three quarks for Muster Mark!"). Gell-Mann cautioned that quarks might not exist outside his equations, but an Australian researcher recently reported finding them among the debris of atmospheric atoms broken up by cosmic rays (TIME, Sept. 12). Even if quarks are only a mathematical fiction, however, there is no doubt that their creator...
...play taking shape at the Mark Hellinger Theater, Kate plays the Coco of 1953-the Chanel who, at age 70 and after 15 years in retirement, decided to make a comeback by reopening her salon. The plot is as simple as a Chanel suit: Yes, she'll open; No, she won't; Yes, she'll open; No, she won't; Yes, she'll open; Yes, she opens. Her collection is a flop with the Paris fashion world, but not (aha!) with the fresh-eyed buyers from across the Atlantic. Paris may have hated the dresses...
...REAL question mark among the incumbents-and a big one-is Daniel H. J. Hayes Jr. (Ind.). Though a former mayor and probably the most competent of the Independent councilors, Hayes has never been a strong runner (he finished eighth last time) and is locked in a struggle with Danchy for North Cambridge votes. Though as mayor Haves began the first real move to get the universities to ease Cambridge housing shortages, he became the local point of the rent control bitterness, probably because rent control backers felt his vote was the one they could swing. This combined with...
...Gustave M. Solomons (CCA), and Henry F. Owen III (Ind.). Of the three, Coates appears to have the most strength. A former councilor, he began running again moments after he was defeated in 1967. Yet, if he or another black is to win, the black voters will have to mark their ballots one, two, three for the three black candidates. The frontrunner will probably still need some more support from white-mostly likely CCA-voters...
...Lindsay has made an error late in the campaign, it was his order that city flags fly at half mast to mark Vietnam Moratorium Day. It was a beautiful thing to witness, but it only added to his alienation from civil servants and blue collar workers. Police cars and buses burned their headlights to show support for President Nixon. It is true such individuals as drove them were not likely to cast their lot with Lindsay in any case, but even for opponents of the war his action raised the specter of another mayor at another time marshalling a different...
