Then, last fall, the man who had flown 159 missions in World War II and Korea and filled in as a test pilot in between discovered the truth of the statistic that most accidents happen in the home. While he was hanging up a mirror in his bathroom, a throwrug slid out from under Glenn and threw his head against the bathtub. The hairline crack in his skull incapacitated his sense of balance for about nine months and probably cost him the title of United States Senator From Ohio...
...training car" instead of the new, 32-valve model he wrecked in practice when the suspension snapped at 80 m.p.h. ("a bit breathtaking, that"). When he finally coasted under the checkered flag, he was far enough ahead (26 sec.) that the only thing he could see in his rearview mirror was his own face...
George Balanchine, L.H.D., choreographer. Not least of his gifts is the first generation of American-born performers of ballet who mirror his restless austerity of discipline, his untrammeled precision of technique...
...fantasies of science fiction, contraterrene, or CT, is something that strikes fear into the hearts of earthlings. CT is antimatter, which forms the substance of mysterious antiworlds where everything is the mirror image of its counterpart on earth. On some as yet undiscovered planet there might be antipeople who put freeze in their anti-cars, eat pasto for an anti-appetizer, take a dote to counteract antipoison or a biotic against anti-disease or a histamine for an anticold, who join the Defamation League and who put macassars on their anti-sofas. But antimatter is no joke. What is really...
...theoretical physics, currently in turmoil about the validity of such symmetries as the one between matter and antimatter, the implications of the anti-deuteron discovery are especially significant. The discovery, says Lederman, strengthens one of the most important symmetry concepts. This involves the idea that antimatter duplicates matter in mirror-like reverse; positive becomes negative, right becomes left, and even the flow of time is reversed. Discovery of the anti-deuteron shows that there must be a nuclear force binding the particles of antimatter that is equivalent to the one binding particles of ordinary matter. Further study of this force...
