Speaking back indignantly to the prosecutor's question of how he saw any shooting if the Sheriff was standing in the trees, Daniels retorted that you "can see flashes of fire from a slingshot." Also, he saw Charlie Ware twist in pain with each flash from...
...Irish have lived much of their lives with bloodshed and privation, their tales of the bad times are recounted with as little rancor as if they were retelling the saga of Lugh of the Long Arm and the time he slew Balor of the Evil Eye with his slingshot...
Pointless Sacrifice. Little David & Co. have not done badly for a slingshot operation, but fact is that they have barely pricked the hides of Portland's Goliaths.

The Oregonian has slashed its noneditorial manpower by 30%, is so fat with ads that it shows a profit of more than $1,000,000 a year...

...alternating gradient synchrotron at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island. That mighty machine can spin protons up to the energy of 33 billion electron-volts, bounce them off targets and produce all sorts of atomic debris-including neutrinos. Physicists figured that any new type neutrinos created by this monstrous slingshot should have as much as i billion volts of energy. They would not be nearly so numerous as the neutrinos flooding out of a nuclear reactor, but their high energy should allow them many more ways of interacting with matter; as a result they would be more easily detectable...
