John C. Gray '30, now a physicist, connects world-wide aggression with the predominance of sexism in most cultures. "Whatever advantages existed once for the traditional roles assigned males and females, the world is now too small and populated, too interdependent, and supplied with terrible weapons, to continue male macho dominance," he writes...
...Israeli military authorities for "unspecified charges"a fate suffered by some 1,500 West Bank Palestinians. Nasser, 44, was taken in handcuffs from his home in the middle of the night, driven to the Lebanese border in a military van and tossed out of the vehicle. A physicist by training, he conducts public relations for the university from Amman. Nasser worries about what effect the Israeli occupation will have on younger Palestinians. "The Israelis should realize they have created a hothouse for young radicals in the West Bank. These kids are newly revolutionary, not like their subdued and docile...
...nuclear physicist, who was the first to visit the power plant after the accident, said that 70 per cent of its reactor core has collapsed as a result of internal fusing, melting and splintering, and that six feet of debris is lying inside the reactor...
Just 2.5 meters (8 ft.) deep and 7,000 square meters (70,000 sq. ft.) in area, the Ein Bokek pond produces 150 kilowatts of power. To generate more power, significantly larger ponds would be needed. Physicist Harry Tabor, chief architect of Israel's solar pond program, notes, for instance, that surfaces of large solar ponds must be crisscrossed with plastic baffles. These gridlike barriers prevent winds from churning up the water, which would mix the critical layers and diminish the pond's effectiveness as a heat collector. But Israeli officials, who hope to build a five-megawatt...
...speakers were certain of the diagnosis, rejected charges that they are naive or hysterical, and are instead "at once fearful and optimistic," as one New York doctor put it. They were less certain of the cure, occasionally even betraying a sense of tragic futility, as when MIT physicist Henry W. Kendall said, "The nuclear arms race is the most outstanding folly on which mankind has embarked." Applause. "But I don't quite know what to do about it." Laughter...
