...Even rival American physicists were impressed. At Fermilab, the big U.S. accelerator center outside Chicago, Chris Quigg whimsically conceded, "They walk like Ws and talk like Ws." Rubbia was both ebullient and philosophical. Noting that scientists have been chopping matter into ever finer pieces since the time of the Greeks, he said, "We may not yet be at the end of the ladder...
...Class of 1981 intended to attend law, business or medical school. A record 54 percent headed straight for the job market. Aspiring to top-rate pre-professional training or salaried positions, some students are undeniably susceptible to grade grubbing, premature materialism, and terminal dullness. Few experiences can rival the ludicrousness of a House pre-law committee get-together chock full of milk and cookies and camaraderie. But Ivy League careerism does take less unsavory forms as well...

With increasing frequency, network reporting aims toward a necessarily simplified but often illuminating explanation of events. ABC's Cordtz, a former writer for FORTUNE and the Wall Street Journal who is recognized even by rival network executives as the best on the beat, specializes in giving viewers a primer on how things work. In one stock market story, for example, he included a step-by-step description of how a share of stock is bought and sold; in a report on the downturn in retail sales, he ticked off the roles of Government, business, foreign buyers and consumers...
...Jensen, a New York Times alumnus, and Irving R. Levine, a longtime correspondent in Moscow and Rome who pioneered the beat starting in 1971. Levine is sometimes regarded by critics as behind the times, perhaps because he rarely uses flashy graphics. He urges an administrative change, already undertaken at rival ABC, that would, he says, greatly improve coverage: designation of a pool of specialized producers (ABC has five) to work on economics. Says Levine: "Not having to initiate a new person into basic understanding each time would increase my productivity enormously...
