Unlike rockets, missiles launched by railguns would not leave fiery, polluting exhausts detectable by satellite. In a forthcoming issue, Physics Today reports that some scientists think that railguns, firing a stream of high-velocity particles at a target of deuterium and tritium, may offer the best way yet of achieving controlled fusion, a key energy hope for the future. Perhaps the most far-reaching application involves the space colonization ideas of Princeton Physicist Gerard O'Neill. He and some colleagues at M.I.T. are already building models of kindred electromagnetic launchers that they believe could be assembled on the moon...
...demonstrated and tied up traffic. The lanes did not work, the mayor said, because bikers did not use them-his own bureaucrats' statistics contradicted him, but never mind-and everyone else thought they hopelessly slowed motor traffic that even at the best times inches along in a fuming stream of steel through midtown. Koch's decision was both premature (the lanes should have been tried for at least a year) and a bit scatterbrained, but it was also calculatedly political. In the street wars among cyclists, motorists and pedestrians, the mayor judged that he had been backing...
More than a year ago, in the sack of mail delivered each afternoon to the Crimson, a stream of letters began to appear. Unlike most of the mail--announcements of bassoon concerts and speeches by nuclear chemists, or indignant responses to recent articles--these letters addressed only the great issues of the day, and with a style and a penmanship that made them unmistakable...
...They said they got permission, and when the foremen swore they didn't, they didn't want to go to arbitration, because the facts were stacked against them," Powers says. "Instead, the union changed its position in mid-stream, saying they didn't need permission to attend the meetings," he adds...
...Gethsemani, Merton was given permission to build a modest, cinder-block hermitage in which to write and pray, and to receive a mounting stream of visitors. His message journeyed far beyond the confines of the retreat into a world with which he was finally at ease. The perduring cause was peace - a cause he had first championed in his days at Columbia in the 1930s: peace among races, peace in Viet Nam, peace between the superpowers who were to decide the fate of billions of souls. The irksome discipline of the monastery, Furlong concludes, had given him the freedom...
