Nevertheless, he seems determined to finish what Kubitschek started. "The consolidation of Brasilia," says Castello Branco, "requires only time and money-mainly money...
...energy protons. This resulted in a debris of. particles that sped through the 300-ft. magnetic field of the spectrometer, where they could be sorted and analyzed. When 16 giant, 20-ton magnets were set to pass positively charged particles, the apparatus made careful readings of the flight path, momentum and velocity of these particles. Computers showed where there was a mass peak of deuterons. Then, by reversing the field, the scientists ran the same tests to detect negatively charged particles. Since antiparticles behave the same way as their ordinary counterparts, the scientists concluded that they had found the anti...
...Harvard could never quite adjust to the Quakers' pure power tactics. Penn Captain John Reese, who just about smacks the fuzz off the ball, took a fast set from Dave Benjamin and then hung on to take the second set, 7-5, just as Benjamin was beginning to gain momentum.

Greenberg asserted that Title VI authorities should not approve so-called "freedom of choice" plans, under which school officials abolish formal school zones and tell Negroes that they can attend any school they wish. "In these cases," he said, "community pressure and the momentum of segregation will keep things entirely of almost entirely as they have been...

Parker explained last night that under such conditions, choppy waters and the very speed of the boat make it essential that a crew be able to get its cars in and out of the water swiftly and smoothly. A crew that cannot loses its momentum. But the Harvard crew rowed with precision, and finished in an incredible 8:15. The old record of 8:35.8 had stood since...
