...brow touch the sky. Force others to look up." The aims of education: "Developing the highest and best in one. It puts zest and life into existence. It gives purpose and ambition." The evils of cynicism: "Which will you be - a builder or a destroyer? A constructor or a smasher of ideas? A blessing to the world or a curse upon it? It all rests with...
...String of Firecrackers. Long, 24, wisely retired on the spot. Last February in Dallas, Matson smashed the world indoor record with a put of 66 ft. 2¼ in.; earlier this month in Austin he warmed up for his outdoor record-smasher with a toss of 67 ft. 9 in. "I've never seen anything like it," exclaimed Stanford's venerable Coach Payton Jordan, who worked with Randy at the Olympics. "His foot explodes, his calf explodes, his thigh explodes, his hip, his back, his shoulder, his triceps, and right out to the very tips of his fingers...
...creates a situation permitting scientists to peer more deeply into the nature of our physical universe, into the wonder world of particles and anti-particles, than have any of their predecessors during the whole history of mankind. It is instructive to recall that the first primitive misnamed "atom-smasher" was built in 1928 and that the powerful accelerators of the kind now used by high energy physicists to advance their study have been developed only since World War II. The Cambridge Electron Accelerator, financed and sup- ported by the Atomic Energy Commission, and built and jointly controlled by Harvard...
...land on Mars and sample possible life there. Even more conducive to Big Science at Palo Alto is Sterling's most audacious 1962 coup: a $114 million AEC contract to build a two-mile linear accelerator, which eventually will be the world's most powerful atom smasher...
Just beyond the spark chamber, shielded by many feet of concrete and steel, curves the half-mile ring of Brookhaven's 30-bev (30 billion electron volts) synchrotron, world's largest atom smasher. If the physicists' calculations are correct, when the synchrotron goes into operation one of its products will be a vast number of neutrinos, snippets of energy powerful enough to penetrate the shielding and slip into the chamber, where they may be spotted by means of spark trails. Scientists expect to decipher the trails and learn some of the deepest secrets of the universe...
