...unable to get around this mathematical roadblock until he was struck by an ingenious idea. If mass becomes imaginary at high velocities, why not see what happens when an imaginary number is substituted for mass at rest? When he made the substitution, he was able to derive a real number for the energy of a particle traveling above the speed of light. Translating this concept into physical terms, Feinberg conjured up a strange particle that seemed to exist only on the other side of the speed-of-light barrier; it could move at velocities greater than 186,000 m.p.s...
...Real Buff. Bowie Kuhn, a distant relative of the knife-wielding frontier hero, Jim Bowie, may be just the man to cut through the encrustations of baseball. At 6 ft. 5 in. and 230 lbs., he looks more like a retired tackle than a Wall Street lawyer whose chief passion is gardening.

...Boston. There he shortened his name, finished high school and expanded his father's grocery into a chain of 30 stores, which he sold in the early 1950s to get capital for investment in many other business ventures. Today he owns a food-importing company and a real estate firm in Boston, in addition to Atlantic Maritime Enterprises Co., which operates ten oil tankers that fly the Greek and Liberian flags...
Despite its incalculable tragic dimensions, the drama of the European Jew remains elusive to all but a handful of films-notably The Shop on Main Street and The Fixer. By being frankly fictional, both films create their own transcendent reality. By trying to be real, The Song and the Silence sings false, proving Santayana's perception: we have to change truth a little in order to remember...
