...Bunnies," and signed "Yours affectionately, Jeremy -P.S. I miss you." The prosecution told the jury of nine men and three women that as Thorpe "climbed the political ladder, his anxiety [about Scott] became an obsession and his thoughts desperate." At Thorpe's instigation a former airline pilot, Andrew Newton, 31, was offered $20,000 to carry out the killing. Thorpe, it was alleged in pretrial testimony, characterized the plan as not much worse than doing away with "a sick dog." In October 1975, Newton has admitted, he lured Scott to a lonely Devon moor and leveled...
Grantham, a market town of 28,000 in Lincolnshire, has three claims to fame: the 281-ft. spire of St. Wulfram's Church is the third highest in England, Sir Isaac Newton went to school there, and Margaret Hilda Thatcher (nee Roberts) was born and raised in an apartment over her family's grocery store at the corner of North Parade and Broad streets...
...qualitative rather than quantitative analysis. What matters is not when or not to what extent something will happen, but whether it will take place at all. Thus catastrophe theorists can claim to understand phenomena other mathematical approaches cannot explain: naturally-occuring discontinuities or "jumps." Since the time of Newton and Leibniz, founders of the calculus three centuries ago, mathematical models in science have been concerned with the regular rotation of planets, the gradual increase in pressure of a gas being heated and the continuously-changing velocity of a falling object. But what about the suddent collapse of a beam, abrupt...
...authors caution that if this and other applications seem suspect, that is not a justifiable reason for dismissing catastrophe theory altogether. The theory's lasting acceptance may have to await the development of mathematical techniques permitting more extensive applications and better predictions. Just as Newton's mechanics did not receive immediate acclaim, they maintain, neither should catastrophe theory's dubious reputation at present be seen as a sign of its ultimate success or failure...
ENGAGEMENT REVEALED. Lee Radziwill, 46, fine-boned younger sister of Jacqueline Onassis; and Newton Cope, 57, San Francisco hotel and real estate millionaire; to be married in San Francisco this week.
