...nothing but bottled mineral water for two weeks in mid-June. All had been fired from their official posts for trying to emigrate to Israel, and then barred from emigrating at all. Partly to keep up their spirits, the president of Tel Aviv University got Azbel and another physicist, Alexander Voronel, appointed to his own faculty; he persuaded neighboring Bar-Han University to hire a third, Moshe Gitter-man. "I hope that the administration will excuse my being unable to start my duties immediately, as I am, so to say, on leave," Voronel wistfully wrote to Tel Aviv. "I would...
Thus the long-distance teaching began. At least once a week the three have been on the phone to Tel Aviv. The physicists come in loud and clear, with no interruptions from the KGB, which is presumably listening. For this reason, discussions are wholly on science with no politics mixed in. One disadvantage of the strange system, says Israeli Physicist Yosef Imry, is that students will not be able to ask questions of the scientists, "but our staff members will be able to field them." Imry says the scientists are "bursting with thoughts they want to communicate. Sometimes, when they...
Died. Mikhail D. Millionshchikov, 60, physicist and vice president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences; reportedly of cancer; in Moscow. One of Russia's leading scientific spokesmen, Millionshchikov signaled a major shift in his country's policy when, in a surprise statement at a 1970 U.S. news conference, he became the first major Soviet official to propose cooperation with the U.S. in the exploration of space...
...last year with the New York Philharmonic and Seattle Symphony, was seen and heard two weeks ago on the Dick Cavett Show, and has just completed a recital tour of California, Washington and Utah. Home is a comfortable, bookish old Spanish house in Los Angeles. Father Leonard is a physicist, Mother Eva a biochemist; neither is a musician. Brother Alan, 9, much to Lilit's annoyance, is as dedicated to the drums as the piano ("He just bangs on anything...
...major hitch to coal-gasification schemes is cost; all the heating and processing must take place in expensive aboveground plants. But Physicist Glenn C. Werth and his colleagues at the AEC's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California have proposed a less expensive alternative. They believe that it may be possible to create methane in the earth by forcing oxygen and water into fractures created with the help of explosives in coal seams. The cost, they figure, would be between 400 and 600 per 1,000 cu. ft., less than the price of liquefied natural gas now delivered from overseas...
