...Egypt became locked in another fevered contest. Since the Suez Canal was closed indefinitely by the Six-Day War, forcing oil tankers to make the long and costly journey around the Cape of Good Hope, both countries hastily revived plans to build pipelines. These lines were intended to transmit Middle East oil more quickly and cheaply to the Mediterranean for shipment to Europe and the Western Hemisphere. Last week Egypt's plans were still on the drawing board, but oil was flowing through the Israelis' underground pipeline, which stretches 159 miles from the Port of Eilat...
When the results of the experiment were first reported last June, many scientists were outspokenly skeptical. University of Maryland Physicist Joseph Weber announced that after more than ten years of effort, he had finally detected the waves that transmit gravitational energy across space. These gravity waves had been postulated by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity in 1916 but never before observed. Last week Weber converted many of the doubters. Over the last six months, he told the American Physical Society, he had recorded 200 distinct bursts of gravitational radiation from far out in space...
...wait until Americans are pulverized and bloodied by too much noise? If it is loud and continuous, doctors know, noise irreparably damages the microscopic hair cells that transmit sound from the ear to the brain, thus causing hearing loss. In addition, it almost certainly affects blood pressure, heartbeat, and virtually every bodily function, and may have much to do with emotional ailments as well. Sums up Baron: "It is a form of persecution...
...this faculty seem not to realize that the students' interest in faculty appointments are not inept carbon copies of faculty concerns. The faculty looks for competence in the field. and it certainly doesn't need student help in this. But expertise does not necessarily include the ability to transmit such knowledge successfully. The faculty as an entity, let's not fool ourselves, is less interested in the pedagogical abilities of a prospective colleague than students are. I think the position could be defended that a given faculty search committee could well be less competent to judge that quality, which...
