...first known encounter with a buckyball was recorded in 1985 by Richard Smalley, a chemical physicist at Rice University, and Harold Kroto, a British chemist from the University of Sussex who was visiting Smalley's lab. The two scientists were studying what would happen if they heated carbon vapor to about 8,000 degreesC (14,500 degrees F). Unexpectedly, they detected a mysterious new form of carbon. Chemical tests proved two things: 1) the molecules had 60 carbon atoms, and 2) they had no "edges," as chemists call the unpaired electrons that cause atoms to form chemical bonds with...

...than for rush film prints of its football games ($6,400). Bissinger's book has stirred so much outrage -- and so many threats -- that last week he canceled a promotional visit to the town. "People here took the book as an attack on their values," said Eric Smalley, manager of the B. Dalton bookstore. "I believe the author is wise to stay away." Some Odessans viewed the book not only as an attack on the city but also as a possible contributing cause of another catastrophe: on Sept. 20 the University Interscholastic League executive committee found the Panthers guilty...
...Harrisville, N.H., the Elm Research Institute has funded a project headed by Dr. Eugene Smalley of the University of Wisconsin to come up with a hardier elm. The tree is called the American Liberty Elm (after a famed Massachusetts tree under which George Washington purportedly took command of the Continental Army in 1775). The American Liberty has a smaller cell structure that prevents Dutch elm disease from spreading through the tree's vascular system. So far, Elm Research has distributed 75,000 of the new trees for prices ranging from $ $2 to $5 each, a good start on its target...
...finally be just enough to raise the average ballplayer above the Saudi Arabian poverty line. The average annual salary, on the other hand, should get closer to about $400,000, which in all fairness, is fair compensation for having to work with selfless players like like Lee Mazzili, Roy Smalley, and Jim Rice...
