...page volume, titled Diplomatic Protocol and Practice, is available at Moscow bookstores (price: 78?). Author F.F. Molochkov does not slight the basics. "Don't forget that by your appearance and your manners you attract the attention of those around you," he advises. Among other things, he instructs his readers on how to move: "Watch your stride. Don't waddle. Walk firmly, erect and with dignity." Style at the dinner table is also important. "Don't crumble your bread into the soup." Molochkov says.

Heeding traditional scientific protocol, Fairbank last week was not talking publicly in advance of the scheduled publication of his results in Physical Review Letters. But the basic operation of his quark-hunting experiment is known. As their tool, Fairbank and two young colleagues-Arthur Hebard, now at Bell Laboratories, and George LaRue-devised an updated version of the classical "oil drop" experiment, first used by Robert Millikan in 1910 to measure the charge on a single electron. Instead of oil drops, the Fairbank team relied on tiny spheres of niobium, a metal that becomes a superconductor when it is chilled...
