...sped toward its historic rendezvous, the 570-lb. spacecraft was battered by a blizzard of charged particles so intense that scientists at NASA'S Ames Research Center near San Francisco feared that all of its eleven instruments would be destroyed. Recalls Physicist...
Sixteen years ago, a French physicist was kidnaped by the Russians and after a little reeducation, assigned to a project requiring his special expertise. Now, approaching middle age and in London for a scientific congress, he is abducted again-this time by the British, who are deadly curious about some information he possesses. They want the names of their own scientists who are leaking formulas to the Russians. If he will tell them, he will not be killed, suave Leo Genn informs the man. But if I talk, the Russians will kill me anyway, says a weary and disgusted Lino...

...blessed with an unusually strong arm. Marshall, though, has a scholar's explanation. It is all related to kinesiology, says the budding professor, "the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement." Dropping names like Daniel Bernoulli (the Swiss mathematician and physicist who developed a key principle of hydrodynamics) and Hans Selye (a leading expert on stress), Marshall goes on to explain: "The secret of pitching every day is proper training. The key to that is specificity, which means understanding structural and mechanical analysis, physiology and baseball well enough to integrate them." Marshall...
Died.
