According to Livingston, the electron accelerator is not properly an "accelerator" in the normal sense of the word. An experiment may start with electrons at .99 the speed of light and increase the velocity to .99999 the speed of light--not too great a change in percentage terms. What does increase dramatically is the energy (and the mass). At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is increased to 20 million electron volts. Then...
...Ephmen dominated action at the start and forced Crimson goalie Tom Bagnoli to make several fine saves. Ekpebu broke the scoreless tie midway through the third period as he scored on a break. Tuckerman added the insurance goal at 12:45 of the final period when he took a pass from center halfback Bill Rapp, turned around and scored with a hard shot to the left corner of the goal. Williams finally scored with four minutes to go in the game, but the varsity held...
...sales front there was more reason to cheer. Buick added up 37,429 retail sales in the first ten days of display, with production lagging a month behind 60,000 new orders. It was the fastest start ever for Buick. Cadillac also reported much higher sales and orders than a year ago. Pontiac hopes to boost its 5% share of the market by offering the widest wheelbase in the G.M. line and probably in the whole industry. This means Pontiac '59s will be roomier inside, easier to control than the '58s, hold the road better. Pontiac broadened...
When will U.S. steelmen learn "the hard way" that they cannot compete? Answered Glossbrenner: As soon as the Soviets have satisfied their own domestic demand for steel, start dumping cut-rate steel abroad, upset world markets as they did this year in aluminum and tin. Glossbrenner said that the U.S. can get competitive only by spurring workers' productivity. One way to do it, he advised, is for "strong" managers to hold the line on wages until workers become more productive, and to create "an overall attitude of discipline in the mills that strengthens the right of management to make...
Author de Cespedes attacks neither motherhood nor the status of the housewife; she only asks that Mamma or Mom stand on her dignity and true worth, and above all, that she reject the martyr pose. The Secret expresses poignantly the mood of wanting "to start living afresh" and the discovery that it is too late. One day Valeria has an impulse to telephone her boss from home and say, "Let's go out." But " 'I'm mad.' I murmured, shaking my head. 'Quite mad,' I repeated, forming his number in the air, without dialing...
