Tiepolo was early marked for greatness. At 14, he was sent to study in the studio of the prolific Venetian genre painter Gregorio Lazzarini, but soon broke away to study on his own the works of the Renaissance's Paolo Vero nese. By the time he was 21, he had become a full-fledged member of the local painters' fraternity, by 23 he had married Cecilia Guardi, sister of the painting Guardis, and by 26 held the highly important post of "curator" of the Doge's art treasures. From then on, his reputation spread from northern Italy...
...billionth of a second before breaking down into three smaller particles called pions-one positive, one negative, one without any electrical charge. According to the laws of symmetry, the positive and negative pions should have identical energies. But when a team led by Columbia University's Dr. Paolo Franzini examined 1,441 photographs of eta-meson decay in the Brookhaven bubble chamber (TIME, July 8), they found that in 53% of the photographs the positive pion apparently had more energy than its negative counterpart-a significant violation of symmetry...
...budget movie, The Gospel According to St. Matthew, was hailed as the year's best religious film; so Italian Director Pier Paolo Pasolini has decided to try the formula again. And again. First he plans to shoot a modern-day version of St. Paul's travels, then a contemporary parable of Christ visiting a middle-class family. The fact that Pasolini is a Marxist seems to trouble a lot of people-but not Paolo. "What no one understands is that an Italian Marxist is very special. He doesn't change into another person when he votes Communist...
This was just what Columbia's Dr. Paolo Franzini had in mind when he went to work with Brookhaven's synchrotron in January 1965. Along with his wife, Dr. Juliet Lee-Franzini, Drs. Charles Baltay and Lawrence Kirsch, he fired particles called pi mesons into a bubble chamber filled with liquid deuterium. About one-thirtieth of the times that a pi meson hit a deuterium nucleus, out came the eta meson, which decays into three pions. The pions streaked through the bubble chamber, the positive leaving a line that curved to the right, the negative peeling...
...GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MATTHEW. Christ is part prophet, part social reformer in a memorable Bible epic, taken word for word from Scripture by Director Pier Paolo Pasolini, an Italian Communist...
