BARBRA STREISAND: MY NAME IS BARBRA (Columbia). On that enchanted evening long ago when she first captured an audience with Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?, a little bit of Barbra stayed right there. Many of these songs from her smash TV special are about childhood, and she is at once sophisticated and ingenuous, smart-alecky and enraptured...
...science and technology of very low temperatures), which has been instrumental in developments ranging from exotic new metals to important new discoveries in superconductivity. Liquid hydrogen came into its own when it was put to use in bubble chambers for experiments in high-energy physics. In such studies, accelerators smash the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, scattering subnuclear debris through the bubble chamber, where scientists can follow and photograph the paths of the tiny charged particles by their tracks of small bubbles. This technique, which was to have been used at Cambridge, has led to the discovery and identification...
...France's Michel Jazy, 29: the 5,000-meter run in 13 min. 27.6 sec., paring 2 sec. from his own European mark; at Helsinki's World Games.

Often laying back as far as 20 ft. from the table, he brought gasps of astonishment from the crowd of 8,000 as he casually returned smash after smash, biding his time until he uncoiled to slam a blur of white past Chuang for a point. After four games, the score was tied; in the final game, Li leaped into a 10-6 lead before Chuang rallied to tie it up again at 15-all. Then, possibly...
