Eventually, Humphrey may be compelled to take that risk. As things stand, the Democratic Party is in its worst shape since 1952. Edmund Muskie, between sensible speeches to generally small crowds, has shrugged a number of times: "If we lose, I'll still be the Democratic Senator from Maine."

During laboratory tests, Buehler and Physicist Frederick Wang reported in Ocean Engineering, they fashioned Nitinol into a complex shape at a high temperature, then cooled it and crushed it beyond recognition. When they heated the alloy again, it magically regained its original shape, "remembering" every curve and angle...
Nitinol's habit of springing back to its original shape when heat is applied also suggests to scientists that it can be used to convert heat energy to mechanical energy. Thus, say Buehler and Wang, it could be used in fire-extinguisher activators and circuit breakers. "The beauty of Nitinol," says Buehler, "is that it's something you load ahead of time. Then if you put it in the correct temperature range, it pulls the trigger itself...
