...doubt the figure of $28,380 you give as the doctor's earnings is based only on what he reports in his tax return. A more accurate, figure would probably be two to three times that amount. A survey would reveal that doctors keep a minimum amount in bank accounts, try to pay practically all their bills with cash...
...effort to clear up the confusion, Kuppermann and Chemist John White have taken an impressive step toward making chemistry exact and predictable: they have made the first direct measurement of the minimum energy required to cause one of the simplest chemical reactions known to science. An absolute minimum of one-third of an electron volt is needed, they discovered, to split a hydrogen molecule into two hydrogen atoms and to combine one of them with a deuterium atom to form deuterium hydride. An addition of any less energy and the reaction will not occur...
...Kuppermann and White, this suggested that the wave length of light used in the previous exposure provided the minimum energy needed to cause the reaction. They then determined the energy carried by a photon at that wave length and calculated how much of it had been imparted to the deuterium atom when the deuterium iodide molecule was split. Their result: one-third of an electron volt...
...decision making among Mao and his colleagues. Who are the Red Chinese hawks and who are the doves? Is there a show of hands in critical disputes, or does Mao decide by fiat? The hardest information to get is on the party's cadre organization, and only a minimum of biographical material is available on the leadership. The U.S. would like more information on agriculture and more reliable figures on the economy. It is particularly wary about a precise population count; the experts estimate the present population at 750 million, but concede that it could...
This is nothing new, either. A few years ago school classrooms designed to accomodate people had to handle as many as a hundred time because Congress failed to appropriate money for teachers' salaries until late in the semester. Washington workers are excluded from coverage under the national minimum wage law. Yet a minimum wage bill which still would leave them below the Administration-defined poverty line is currently stalled in conferences. Washington children whose parents are unemployed are not entitled to Federal payments available to children of unemployed parents in the states...
