...Cambridge Electron Accelerator, a joint undertaking of MIT and Harvard, was begun in April 1956 and is now about half completed. A two-story administration and laboratory building has been in use for the past six months, and the huge circular tunnel that comprises the accelerator itself is nearly ready. Still to come are a powerhouse and an experimental building which will house the various instruments of measurement...
Since the accelerator is a unique machine, says M. Stanley Livingston, professor of physics at MIT and director of the project, the design of both the tunnel and the measuring apparatus requires a good deal of original work. To this end, physicists and engineers from MIT and Harvard have been busy for the past two years. Livingston expects construction to be finished early in 1960, and, after the machine is "turned up" and tested, operation should begin later that year...
...accelerator, electrons whirl around on a constant orbit of 236-foot diameter between a series of 48 strong-focusing magnets. The circular tunnel which encloses it will have a powerhouse in the middle to supply the energy for the magnets. The accelerator tunnel and the powerhouse will be connected by four radial tunnels...
...Nuclear blasting. Engineers have long considered a connecting tunnel or canal between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. The water would drop 1,800 ft. below sea level from the Mediterranean, creating tremendous hydroelectric power, and the Dead Sea would obligingly evaporate it to keep the current running. While the U.S. is not yet formally prepared to furnish nuclear explosives, the Atomic Energy Commission has already tested them in an underground blast, might well lend help and supplies if asked. ¶ Desalting water. The U.S. Department of the Interior, eying a 597 billion-gal, daily consumption...
...most imaginative geniuses in the theatrical world today; in Touch, aided by Charlton Heston, he uses his unflagging gifts to produce a masterful film. In Cry, James Mason and Rod Steiger try to outwit each other, with climactic scenes in an elevator shaft and a subway tunnel...
