Colorado was one of the brightest spots on the Republican landscape-and it showed what can be done when good candidates are helped by a first-rate state organization to ride a conservative wave...
...subsequent essays built around causality and determinism in modern physics should be all means be read, if for no other reason than to form some impression of the quicksilver state of physics with regard to these concepts. Wave-particle duality and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle are still hard to get used to, but there has for several decades already been a flux of speculation about their meaning. Ernest Cassirer, David Bohm, and Erwin Schrodinger are writing in a realm where...
...excellent survey. Two relevant points that appear neither in the quoted work nor in his own descriptions might have been added. One is that modern physics has been unable to design an experiment which "proves" that matter is of corpuscular form, and also says something about its wave nature. Put another way, the contradictions of wave-particle duality have been derived from the positive results of separate experiments; we have not been able to unite them in one experiment. If the experiment can't be constructed, it becomes reasonable to ask whether the contradiction derived from two experiments...
...hull. Drifting into view on Broadway, Mr. President carried a trapped and talented crew that seemed to take comfort in huddling together at the finale to sing an Irving Berlin version of Nearer, My God, to Thee called This Is a Great Country ("If this is flag waving, flag waving, do you know of a better flag to wave?"). But unlike the "unsinkable" Titanic, Mr. President will take at least two years to go under; it has more than $2,650,000 in advance ticket sales...
...invent slavery. For centuries the tribes along the Guinea coast (the 4,000 miles of West African coastline stretching from present-day Mali to Angola) had made slaves of one another. But the insatiable European slavers, trading in guns, powder and rum, set off an ever-widening wave of violence. Rival tribes raided incessantly and reached out into the interior for fresh supplies of victims...
