...from the sea at 1,000 feet darted the 36 sweptwing F-105 jets armed with rockets and 3,000-lb. bombs. Over North Viet Nam's port city of Haiphong, they were mere minutes from the target: the Uong Bi power plant, newest and most modern in all North Viet Nam, supplying 33% of Haiphong's electricity and 25% of Hanoi's.

...higher energy would come from the collision of two moving subnuclear particles--an electron and a positron. Normal accelerator experiments send a particle into a stationary target. But these cohisions, Pipkin said, can only take place in a "ring" where both particles are stored--which could cost as much as $16 million to build. The CEA instead would make a giant storage ring out of its accelerator by adding an injector for positrons to the present one for electrons. The two particles would rotate in opposite directions. At a given point the two streams could be made to collide...
