...month period, Srouji testified, she was allowed to photocopy bureau summaries of the inquiry. Some months before Srouji rejoined the Tennessean last fall, she began passing information to the FBI. This included details of interviews for her book that she conducted at the Soviet embassy with a Russian nuclear physicist. One chapter title: "My Friend, the Russian...
...Andrei Sakharov, 54, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and nuclear physicist, last week made it a point to travel from Moscow to Omsk, 1,200 miles away, to attend the trial of another dissident, Mustafa Djemiliev, 31. The official Soviet news agency Tass claimed that Sakharov and his wife broke into the courtroom and "noisily" demanded seats. Tass went on: "The man, who turned out to be Sakharov, slapped the militia man in the face and then struck a militia major. [Sakharov's wife] joined in the fight and struck the commandant of the courtroom while Sakharov shouted...
...technology demonstrated so dramatically by AT&T. Primitive man sent signals by building fires or waving torches; ships still use shuttered signal lamps to flash messages to each other. Proof that light could be sent along a curved "pipe"-like electricity flowing through a wire-was provided by British Physicist John Tyndall in 1870. He showed that light shining down on a tank of water could be carried by a stream pouring from a hole in the side of the tank to illuminate the spot on which the stream fell...
...ozone layer? Or in the controversy surrounding food additives and cancer? Too often those who must ultimately decide these issues are likely to be swayed by rhetoric rather than by scientific fact because there is no easy way to sort out the facts in arguments between scientists. Physicist Arthur Kantrowitz, 62, thinks that he has a solution to the dilemma. Kantrowitz, head of Avco Everett Research Laboratory in Everett, Mass., and one of the key engineers in the U.S. space program, would like to use the techniques of the courtroom to establish scientific fact. His idea: a court that would...
...Physicist Fred Sterzer, director of RCA's Microwave Technology Center at Princeton, N.J., points out that there are well-known and commonly used countermeasures. All the embassy need do, he says, is use metal Venetian blinds, place a layer of wire mesh under its floors, and paper its walls with metal foil, which can then be covered with regular wallpaper. These precautions would not only block any incoming microwaves, but would also prevent bugs in inside walls from sending signals outside the building by microwave...
