...first time in weeks. Trains and subways rumbled once more; the whine of jetliners echoed again at the airports. By the millions, French workers trooped back to their factories. Though there were still some pockets of holdouts, notably the university students and the strikers at the state-owned radio and television stations and the Renault auto plants, France last week was returning to normal after a month of economic paralysis and chaotic civil disorder...
...Sellers, 42. The frantic pace of traveling with Peter was what did it, she said. "It might sound fabulous, but you can't imagine how exhausting it is transporting a baby, a nanny and all your possessions all over the world. I always travel with my tape recorder, radio, camera, ten framed pictures of my family, my very own lace pillow, three hair dryers, six hairpieces, and masses of knitting I know I'll never finish." Britt had some other complaints too. "I don't like the way he allows his life to be governed by soothsayers...
...available timing devices on earth are similarly affected by relativity? Last summer, when the regularly beeping signals of pulsars were first detected coming from outer space, Queens College Physicist Banesh Hoffmann figured that they might supply an answer. Though their source was unknown, the precisely spaced radio pulses coming from light-years away seemed to be the distant clock needed to measure earth time. In a letter to Nature, Hoffmann suggested that the pulse rate of pulsars be taken regularly from January through June, when the earth is farthest from the sun and slows to its minimum speed. Each time...
Using the Navy's 150-ft. radio telescope at Sugar Grove, W. Va., Dr. Sadeh will attempt this month to establish the pulse rate of one or more of the pulsars to an accuracy of one part in 10 billion-the equivalent of a clock that would gain or lose only 1/300th of a second per year. Then, twice a month for the next half a year, he will match the rate of incoming pulses against a cesium clock, an atomic timer that is accurate to one part in 10 trillion...
...that first awful morning last week, many Americans phoned relatives and friends; unable to speak the unspeakable, they just said, "Turn on the television." Thus began a four-day period in which TV and radio attempted to link a distraught country into a comprehending whole. They succeeded to a remarkable degree...
