...haven't seen anybody compress their attack zone like Harvard does," Rae said. "The Harvard coach must have great confidence in his team speed. They are very fast...
Photojournalism, which has brought about the second revolution in communications, after the invention of movable type in the 15th century, is so new that some photographers who pioneered its development -- Peter Stackpole, Dmitri Kessel, George Tames, Alfred Eisenhstaedt, Howard Sochurek and I -- are still taking pictures for publication. The speed and sweep of photojournalism's technical achievements can be appreciated by considering the life of one of its greatest pioneers, Fritz Goro. He began his career in the 1930s using flash powder to light his subjects, and just before he died in 1986, he was using a laser beam...
Increasingly, the photographers also brought high-speed color film to the fray. By the end of the '70s, color photos of the week's events had become the staple of TIME and Newsweek, which had moved into the void left by the collapsing picture magazines. For many traditionalists, color marked a final capitulation to the values of television. But a group of younger photojournalists would begin to paint the news in bold colors. Like the U.S. after Viet Nam, these new practitioners were no longer satisfied by the old certainties...
These odds were calculated by observing the behavior of the Z particle, the heaviest known unit of matter. Zs are produced in the collision of smaller particles that have been accelerated to nearly the speed of light. By creating large numbers of Z particles, physicists were able to establish the energy range required to form a Z. Working backward from that energy range, they then calculated whether the laws of nature could accommodate more than the three known types of matter. Last week's results made it more than likely that the answer...
...many investors, the most disturbing aspect of the Wall Street slide was its breathless speed. "We have a history of market bubbles and panics," says Allen Sinai, chief economist for the Boston Company Economic Advisors. "But because of the advance in communications, corrections that used to take days, weeks or months now take minutes. Any positive or negative events get communicated in seconds." Sinai added that while "a drop of 190 points is shocking and a source of great anxiety and nervousness, it doesn't suggest that the sky is going to fall. The lesson of 1987 is that financial...
