Unwilling to wait, McCusker's team set up a more simple quark trap in a shed behind the University of Sydney's school of physics. Whenever Geiger counters detected a cosmic shower, they triggered four Wilson cloud chambers, which show the path of any ionized or charged particle that passes through them as a trail of condensed water drop lets. If a quark freed by a collision between a cosmic ray and an atmospheric atom happened to penetrate the cham ber, the physicists reasoned, it would leave a highly characteristic track...

Almost everywhere in Europe, factories are humming at or near their capacity, but consumers are spending money so fast that some firms cannot fully meet the demand for their products. French automakers, for example, are making many domestic buyers wait for delivery of new cars because they are giving priority to export orders...
