...actual experimentation, the electron beam will be aimed at a protonrich liquid hydrogen target. The electrons will be scattered as they emerge from the target. Scientists hope that close study of the scattering pattern may yield clues to the internal composition of the proton, which is no longer considered an indivisible particle but rather a composite of smaller bodies...
...this second experiment the beam will be used to create, through bombardment of a special target, a stream of high energy photons. The photons, in turn, will be directed into a hydrogen bubble chamber. Interaction of the photons with the hydrogen nuclei will produce strange particles. These particles will leave a track of bubbles in the hydrogen, and in this way can be observed and studied...
That came as the capsule swept over the Philippine Sea, heading for the final target north of Midway Island, where the aircraft carrier Kearsarge waited. As the capsule started its descent through the atmosphere, officers watching radar on the Kearsarge could hardly believe their eyes: the Sigma 7 seemed to be heading directly for the Kearsarge, looked as if it might land right on the flight deck. Borne by its parachute, it finally landed only four miles from the carrier, hitting the proverbial pickle barrel after 155,000 miles of flight...
TIME should have cheered Miss Carson's efforts to alert the public to pesticide dangers, and seconded her motion to step up research to discover target-specific, short-life pesticides and nonchemical pest controls, the use of which would assure that America will never have a "silent spring...
Emphatically no. said the Justice Department last week in a significant federal suit involving the Government for the first time as original plaintiff in a school desegregation case. The target: Virginia's Prince George County,* site of Fort Lee, which houses the Army Quartermaster School. While getting hefty impact aid, Prince George last year assigned 117 of Fort Lee's Negro children to Negro schools. The Justice Department goal is not to cut off the aid, but to force an end to segregation. Ultimate aim: the same for about 70 other impacted school districts throughout the South...
