The proposed shopping list: > A $240 million proton accelerator with 200-billion-eIectron-volt energy for Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Berkeley...

The superviolent crack-ups will be few because most of the protons will miss each other, but even one smash may become what the panel yearningly calls "a window on the future." Cost: $60 million...
