...shape we are now in a year ago. If a miracle had happened and we'd come on two years ago, then we'd have scooped up a lot of Z 0 physics." Now he and his colleagues can only hope the LEP will have extensive start-up problems...
...think that is unlikely. Richter bet on a new approach to accelerator design, sending the positrons and electrons down a two-mile-long straight track, then spinning them out in opposing semicircles before colliding them. The CERN machine is more conventional and thus more likely to work from the start. The positrons and electrons in the LEP are made to circle repeatedly in opposite directions through the tunnel, with new particles added periodically to the stream. In a given period of time, the LEP is expected to produce hundreds of times as many Z 0s as the Stanford collider does...
...draped shape can be traced to those ubiquitous trend setters, the baby boomers. The generation that grew up in the let-it-all-hang-out '60s has found that by age 35 or 40, it may be time to start holding some of it in. Sales of women's swimwear have fallen in recent years, and the aging of the population is probably one reason. "Women were complaining that they couldn't find appropriate bathing suits," says Ruth Rubinstein of New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology. "Most were made for the very young who had perfect bodies." Asserts...
...Israeli bus as it traveled along the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway. Shouting "Allah Akbar!" (("God is great!")), he sent the bus hurtling down a 495-ft. ravine. The fiery plunge killed 14 people and wounded an additional 27. It was the worst single attack against Israelis since the start of the uprising. "This is a shocking disaster," Shamir said, "the fruit of a disgusting mind full of hatred...
...decade and a half, the abortion issue has made extremists and hypocrites of us all -- pro-choicers enshrining trimesters in the Constitution, pro-lifers using an ostensible concern for the mother's health to restrict the mother's freedom of choice. Now we can start being honest again. And with the Supreme Court out of the picture, we can have the arduous but exhilarating democratic experience of deciding an important issue for ourselves...
