There was more good news for Johnson. That scar, his doctor reported last week, is in "excellent condition." Vice Admiral George Burkley, the White House physician, added that in every other respect as well, Lyndon Johnson's recovery is in the "normal range." Last week was the sixth since Johnson left the hospital after his gall-bladder operation. It marked the end of the period mentioned by his doctors as the time it would take the President to resume full "physical activity...

Many Americans-including Johnson-expected that he would return sooner to his hyperactive ways. Yet most gall-bladder patients take about three months to regain their strength completely, as distinct from the ability to walk normally, climb stairs, and take routine exercise-all of which Johnson has been doing...
...Normal speech proceeds at a rate of about 175 words a minute," said H. Les'ie Cramer, the Ed School graduate student conducting the experiment yesterday. "But each sound lasts twenty times as long as is necessary...
...removing every other 35 milliseconds of sound from a regular speed tape. Cramer can produce speech at double speed. Removing more tape segments speeds the speech up even more. Yet the speech is still of normal pitch and none of the vital parts of words are obliterated...
...higher energy would come from the collision of two moving subnuclear particles--an electron and a positron. Normal accelerator experiments send a particle into a stationary target. But these cohisions, Pipkin said, can only take place in a "ring" where both particles are stored--which could cost as much as $16 million to build. The CEA instead would make a giant storage ring out of its accelerator by adding an injector for positrons to the present one for electrons. The two particles would rotate in opposite directions. At a given point the two streams could be made to collide...
