...patio behind the Orante Intourist Hotel at the Black Sea resort of Sochi, an American scholar and a leading Soviet physicist were skimming a Frisbee at each other. The Russian, Mikhail Dmitrievich Millionshchikov, had approached the game hesitantly, perhaps because the American. Columbia University's Marshall Shulman, a specialist in Russian affairs, had demonstrated such skill. But soon Millionshchikov was lunging enthusiastically after the elusive plastic saucer...
...Deputy, Rocard plans to work inside an Establishment that he would like to overturn. That is a role spurned by many New Leftists in favor of instant revolution, but it is not new for Rocard. Son of Physicist Yves Rocard, one of the developers of France's atom bomb, he graduated from the prestigious Ecole Nationale d'Administration and entered government service as an in-specteur des finances, one of the elite corps of officials who supervise state spending. It is a position that normally opens the door to the highest echelons of the government and big business...

...first time, there was evidence that the hunters were closing in on their quarry. At a conference of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics in Budapest, a scientist from Australia announced that he was "99% sure" that he had actually found a quark. British-born Physicist Charles McCusker, 50, reported that his team of investigators had apparently spotted the elusive particles among the wreckage of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen atoms smashed when they were struck by cosmic rays hurtling down from space...
