...start, they are trying to make a rectifier, a simple device for changing the periodically reversing flow of electrons in alternating current (AC) into the one-way flow of direct current (DC). Like the cathode in ordinary vacuum tubes, one end of the molecular rectifier would act as a donor of electrons because it would be made out of a molecule that had a lower binding energy. The other end, carrying a higher binding energy, would serve as an anode, or electron acceptor. Thus, if an external alternating voltage were applied, the large molecule would act as a rectifier...
Ruth matched his play on the field with his playing on the town. He partied every night and a New York City policeman often would encounter a drunk Ruth barrelling down a one-way street the wront way in one of his slick automobiles. More often than not, however, the policeman would not only pardon him, but would offer to drive him the rest of the way home. All this carousing eventually lead to marital problems and after the death of his first wife from whom he was already separated, Ruth married Claire Hodgson, who is still alive...
...Luxury. Under the CAB plan, which will take effect July 16, coach fares for long-haul flights (more than 750 miles) will be cut by as much as 5%, and short-haul coach fares will be raised by as much as 30%. As a result, the price of a one-way coach ticket for the 2,585-mile flight from Miami to San Francisco will drop from $167.59 to $158.33, and the fare for the 91-mile flight from Boston to Hartford will rise from $15.74 to $18.92. In addition, the board ordered an increase over the next two years...
Europe's leaders scarcely had time to consider Kissinger's apology when Richard Nixon dropped another verbal bombshell on the alliance. At his Friday press conference in Chicago, the President warned Europe that "the day of the one-way street is gone." Nixon told the EEC that it must decide to work with the U.S. "on the economic and political front," or else America "will go separately." Just in case Europeans missed the point, the President observed that Congress might vote to cut U.S. troop strength in Europe unless some understanding is reached. On Saturday, Le Monde...
While Agnew works, his Government limousine is at his beck, and Secret Service agents keep guard downstairs, eying visitors through bulletproof one-way glass. The fact that the former Vice President has been receiving such perquisites so angered Democratic Congressman John E. Moss that he asked the General Accounting Office to investigate. Last week Comptroller General Elmer Staats wrote Moss that in just under two months the Government had already spent $89,132 on Agnew's staff, $2,075 for the maintenance of the town houses, $877 for office supplies and $905 to move the cartons from...
