Unwilling to wait, McCusker's team set up a more simple quark trap in a shed behind the University of Sydney's school of physics. Whenever Geiger counters detected a cosmic shower, they triggered four Wilson cloud chambers, which show the path of any ionized or charged particle that passes through them as a trail of condensed water drop lets. If a quark freed by a collision between a cosmic ray and an atmospheric atom happened to penetrate the cham ber, the physicists reasoned, it would leave a highly characteristic track...
...Paulo may be uninhabitable by the year 2000," says Biologist Jacob Zug-man. Along with the city's growing air-and water-pollution problems, he says, "the city noises are assaulting our sanity." Studies show that children (and presumably adults as well) in Sāo Paulo have already lost some acuity of hearing, because as noise increases the ability to hear decreases.

Dylan himself was pleased by the concert. He came away from the concert feeling strong enough for a full-scale comeback in the U.S. Already he has announced a touring show with The Band, the superb Canadian country-rock group that backed him at Wight. "I want to try it again," he says. "It's what I do. It's my work." But clearly he will do it his way. Not playing up to the applause or offering flowery speeches about "how wonderful it is to be here." It is, in fact, not only Dylan...
Plea for Pity. Some of the most disputed figures are those on the growth of the nation's money supply. Washington's fundamental strategy for halting inflation is keyed to keeping that growth down. Federal Reserve statistics computed in the traditional manner show that the money supply, which is defined as cash in circulation plus demand deposits in commercial banks, has grown since the end of 1968 at a 1.5% annual rate, or 1% for the year so far. Under the prevailing theory that money supply controls economic growth, and ultimately price levels, that would seem gradual enough...
