Because Paul Horowitz has always loved gadgets, and because he had always wondered how much arsenic was on the skin of unwashed apples, he didn't notice the two graduate students talking as he leaned over his newest creation, the proton microscope. They were impatient to try their own more traditional experiments--analyses of ancient pottery shards--and they had driven from MIT to Lincoln Laboratories in Lexington earlier that morning expecting that Horowitz would not be there, that his new gadget would be free. Horowitz, who had come on impulse from his home three minutes away, did not seem...
...called to rearrange his shattered schedule, cancelling the original lunch date and making a new one with his morning appointment, the owner of a small company who wanted to hire Horowitz as a consultant. Now he felt rushed, but before turning the proton microscope over to the grad students, he reviewed safety precautions and shutdown procedures...
...Ting's team, which used the 33 billion-electron-volt accelerator at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and a "Psi" particle by Richter's group at the two-mile-long Stanford Linear Accelerator, it was the heaviest atomic fragment ever found-almost 3% times more massive than the proton. It was also, by nuclear standards, extremely long-lived. It survived a full one-hundred billionths of one-billionth of a second, or 1,000 times longer than other massive particles...

...book of doctrine, Divine Principle, appeared in 1957, quickly to become the Bible of his followers. It is a curious mixture of Christian fundamentalism, Taoist-like dualism, numerology, and even metaphors from Moon's electrical engineering (the "give and take" between proton and electron, for example, as a model for that between God and man). The book points to a new Saviour from Korea, whose timing is remarkably similar to Moon...
