...accelerator at close to 186,000 miles per second, which is the speed of light, ultimate speed limit in the universe. Pushing them harder and harder does not make electrons go much faster. Instead they get heavier, turning energy into mass according to Einstein's famous equation: E = mc². In the Cambridge accelerator, the electrons get moving at 99.9999996% of the speed of light, and have enough energy to weigh 12,000 times as much as when they were at rest...

Nodding brusquely, Kenny Mc Lean hiked up his scuffed leather chaps, swung over the rail, settled gingerly into the saddle, and in the awkward tradition of rodeo riding, he dug his spurs hard into Blue Boy's neck...
...meanest mobsters in the U.S. is a small, tight-lipped hood from Brooklyn named Joseph ("Crazy Joey") Gallo. In 1959, when he met Robert Kennedy, then counsel for Senator John Mc-Clellan's rackets-investigating committee, Crazy Joey examined Kennedy's office rug and offered his professional opinion: "It would be nice for a crap game...
