...This is the last year for the nucleus of this team, and I think everybody will be working to live up to their potential," Klein said...
...CONDUCTS. I am trained as a composer, not as a conductor. For me composing is still the nucleus of everything. When I study another composer's score, or when I prepare one of my own for performance, what I read, I want to hear. I conduct because I thought that if I wanted to change something in the musical life, then I would have to be really serious about it. If you conduct a concert only once a year, then you don't change anything...
Park will have the nucleus of a solid hitting club (with a .300 hitter at number eight in Serrano) and a strong fielding club that will prevent careless runs. The big question in the Crimson's plans is its meager pitching staff. Of course, pitching was the big mystery last spring also and the hurlers turned out to be the best in the Eastern League...
...team was able to dissect the laboratory-produced cosmic rays. The collisions fragmented the nitrogen nuclei into every element lighter than nitrogen in the periodic table. By analyzing the results of this and similar experiments, physicists hope to bolster their meager store of knowledge about not only the atomic nucleus but also the pulsars and supernovae in which cosmic rays are thought to be born. "It opens up a whole new way of studying nuclear structure," said Berkeley Physicist Harry Heckman...
Letting their imaginations roam, the authors provide a vivid description of what might follow the catastrophic impact. As the comet's head, or nucleus, struck the earth's surface, tons of molten rock would be hurled thousands of miles, falling and hardening in tektite-like patterns far from the point of collision. At the same time, another spectacular event may well have occurred. The gases contained in the comet nucleus-particularly frozen ammonia and methane-would have spread through the atmosphere and the water, drastically changing the environment for primitive life. Then, in a swirling finale...
