Martin, professor of Physics and chairman of this task force, stresses that the group must first "grope with the logic of the existence of concentrations."

It was a chilling remark. Last week, while Local 299 posted a $25,000 reward for information leading to his return, the family of Jimmy Hoffa waited to see if he had lost...
