Meson Cloud. Physicists say that mesons are matter, but certainly they are matter of a very special kind. Pi mesons, whose mass is 276 times that of an electron, "live" on the average only three 100-millionths of a second. Then they change into lighter "mu mesons" (210 electron masses), which live somewhat longer, eventually decaying into ordinary electrons. The mass that mesons lose in these transformations turns principally into energy, a striking example of Einstein's principle: that mass is equivalent to energy...
...much as a tamale for lunch. When members of the general's party posed as tourists in the town market, Indian stand-keepers refused to sell to them.

In all, 33 persons were killed before the rising was put down. "The law will fall on whoever is responsible for this tragedy," promised Puerto Rican Governor Muñoz Marín. That meant Albizu Campos. Last week, in a half-empty courtroom, Albizu was convicted on twelve charges of trying to overthrow the Puerto Rican government by force. Maximum penalty on each charge: ten years in prison...
General Ridgway, commander in chief of U.N. forces in Korea, sent the Security Council two captured documents: 1) a North Korean general staff order, dated June 18, .1950, for reconnaissance of Seoul "as the attack begins;" 2) North Korean 4th Infantry Division Commander Lee Kwon Mu's operation order No. 1, dated June 22, 1950, naming Seoul as the objective of a "frontal attack." Said Ridgway: "These two orders . . . provide clear and documented information that the attack launched on June 25, 1950, was ... a deliberate and preconceived plan for the conquest of the Republic of South Korea...
