This is one year when the party politics of Massachusetts may run itself thin. "I think the number of Republicans winning this year will be surprising," King said. "Democrats in this election have been using 1940s-and-'50s-style politicking, rhetoric reminiscent of campaigns run in Mississippi when the Ku Klux Klan was powerful They use lots of divisiveness and fear.

...Tall and thin, Langton picked up soccer in 10th grade, and while he starred on a highly-regarded State College High School team, he came to Cambridge with a solid but only marginally skilled game. Even today, he dribbles the ball too far in front of him, and his quickness afoot is average...

...create what in effect is an electron freeway without these obstructing potholes, Bell Physicist Raymond Dingle and his colleagues built a semiconductor made of extremely thin, alternate layers of aluminum gallium arsenide (which they doped) and gallium arsenide (which they left pure). They reasoned that any electrons donated by the impurity would tend to migrate to the adjoining undoped gallium arsenide layer because of their tendency to seek what physicists call a lower energy state. Explains the Australian-born Dingle: "It's rather like the inclination of water to flow downhill." The new design worked. Isolated from the obstructing...
