Americans react differently to these matters. After the leaky booster rocket made by his company caused Challenger to explode, the chairman of Morton Thiokol was asked if he should have resigned. His name is Charles S. Locke. Here is what Mr. Locke said: "You explain to me why I should...
...Antarctic team's assertions are bold, since the tests are not completed. But even if the ozone change is not induced by man, says NASA Research Scientist Richard Stolarski, "it would do us well to understand, because we're going to have to react whether it's natural or man-made. We need to know if these changes are greater than in the past or if we are just paying more attention to them now. And we should know that as soon as possible...
...three were cited for developing methods that have revealed the most basic mechanisms of chemical reactions. To construct theories of what happens when chemicals react, scientists, prior to the laureates' work, had only sketchy evidence: the chemical products and the amount of energy produced or consumed by the end of a multistep reaction. But these observations gave information only about the net effect on millions of molecules; the changes that occur to individual molecules at each step stayed a mystery...
...that of particle physicists, who accelerate beams of speeding subatomic particles, smash them together or into a target, and then study the resulting debris. Herschbach's and Lee's beams consist of molecules instead of subatomic particles; when the molecules collide at about the speed of sound, they react to form new molecules, which spray in different directions. By looking at what new molecules have been formed, where they end up and what kind of energy is emitted or absorbed, chemists can reconstruct what happened in individual reactions...
Japan's past economic success stems, in large part, from its business philosophy, Vogel said. While American companies tend to react drastically to economic crises, Japanese businesses are more likely to "tighten their belts and ride out" economic problems, he explained...
