GILBERTO FLORES MUÑOZ, 55, is the toiling, famously honest Minister of Agriculture. Flores Muñoz directed Ruiz' 1952 campaign, has since cracked down on corruption and launched ambitious new projects in his department. He is also a tub-thumping politician...
...often as he chooses-provided he never has more than four wives at a time. For a man as enthusiastic as the Sultan of Pahang, however, it may sometimes be hard to keep count. An eternal youth at 52, Sir Abu Bakar Ri'ayatu'd-Din Al-mu'adzam Shah ibni Al-marhum Al-mutasim Bi'llah Sultan Abdullah, soon to celebrate his 25th year as ruler of the largest state in Malaya, is a man as huge (6 ft. i in., 200-plus Ibs.) as his name, and as perenially active as the tongue that...
...Sullivan Show (Sun. 8 p.m., CBS). Renata Tebaldi and Richard Tucker sing an excerpt from La Bohème, but only a snippet because Ed & Co. think good mu sic is scaring away audience...
...Columbia cyclotron (called affectionately a "pie factory") is arranged to generate a beam of pi mesons, which turn quickly into mu mesons. Using mu mesons to test parity had often been discussed, but had seemed too difficult. This time Dr. Lederman and Associate Richard L. Garwin had a new idea. Working at top speed with Graduate Research Assistant Marcel Weinrich, they set up an extremely simple experiment. In the path of the mu mesons streaming from the cyclotron, they placed a block of carbon about 6-in. square and 1-in. thick with a coil of wire wound around...
...Mu mesons disintegrate in two-millionths of a second, each forming an electron and two neutrinos, and this lifetime is too short to permit thermal motions in the carbon block to disturb them appreciably. When they lodge in the carbon, they are all spinning in the same direction, and under these conditions the parity principle requires that when they disintegrate, they must shoot out the same number of electrons in each direction along their common spin axis...
