At the same time, his complaints about federal indifference have stirred further action: the Justice Department's civil rights division announced last week it would investigate the attacks on the American-Arab group. Abourezk is now satisfied that the Government has committed adequate resources to the probe. Said he: "We were feeling goddamned alone out here...
...megamachine might accomplish is more boggling still: it would serve as a circular iron-and-steel racetrack for beams of subatomic particles, traveling at fantastic speeds, that would be smashed together in an effort to mimic conditions at the earliest moments of the universe. It would enable physicists to probe fundamental mysteries about the origin of matter and energy and could help them achieve a long-sought goal: to weave the four known forces of nature--electromagnetism, gravity, the weak force (responsible for radioactive decay) and the strong force (which holds atomic nuclei together)--into a single, elegant, grand unified...
Spence refused any comment yesterday beyond his Wednesday statement in which he said he was investigating the conference funding.

He soon realized, however, that the radio on the diminutive probe was too weak to transmit data from 80 million miles away, the distance of Halley when it is most accessible to visiting earthships. Additional research suggested a less glamorous but more practical alternative: comet Giacobini-Zinner, which orbits the sun once every 6.5 years and could be easily visited when it was about 44 million miles...
