...alphabet-soup world of subatomic physics, only one letter was missing. The equations of quantum theory had indicated the existence of 17 pairs of basic "building blocks"-particles and antiparticles, balanced by opposite electrical charges, and physicists had long since spotted and labeled the 17 normal particles. Once they got their huge, high-energy accelerators working in the late 1950s, they matched 16 of these bits of matter with their antiparticle mates. All that remained was the elusive (anti-Xi-zero). In September 1961, a group of Yale University and Brookhaven National Laboratory physicists set out to find...
...group. To all, "baggies" are the loose-legged boxer swim trunks worn by the boys. "Hot dogging" is either class-A surfing or show-off stuff. To "take gas" or "wipe out" is to lose a board in the curl of a wave and land in the foamy "soup...
...best steel and glass boxes. The reason is that the structure is of prestressed concrete. "Steel is prefabricated in rectilinear units, and you have to work with that," says Bunshaft. "With concrete, you have to make your own forms and you can make any form you need." Duck Soup. When Emhart first commissioned SOM, the firm turned out sketches of two-and three-story buildings resting on the ground that seemed uninspired and esthetically wrong. Then Bunshaft did a doodle of a slim rectangle hovering over a curved line, and from this the design began to crystallize. He called...
Dinners & Soup. British beefeaters have always been the biggest customers for Argentine canned, chilled and fro zen beef; in 1959 British purchases accounted for two-thirds of Argentina's exports. But since then, overproduction of beef by British farmers has forced a sharp cutback of nearly 20% in British buying. Fortunately for the Argentines, other European customers and newly opened markets behind the Iron Curtain and in Egypt, Israel and Portugal are taking up the slack...
...fresh or fresh-frozen beef that might contain the virus of foot-and-mouth disease. Most imported beef goes into hot dogs and canned stews, or is brought in as canned corned beef. Last year Argentina got only $15.3 million of this business (one of its biggest customers: Campbell Soup Co. for its beef soups)-and it is working to get a lot more. The U.S. has now agreed to accept frozen cooked beef, provided it is from Argentine packers who meet U.S. Agriculture Department standards; only one packer has passed so far. This eventually could open up to Argentine...
