Somewhere along the line I paid my tutor a visit, and found him incredibly depressed. His politics, I had long realized, were not mien--but he was a good guy and he was together and damn smart. And I found him calling radicals "criminals" and talking about a wave of "anti-intellectualism" sweeping the University. He pointed out that even some of the most liberal Faculty people, in the social sciences had opposed the Heimert resolution, which passed, he said, only with the votes of a lot of biologists and physicists who weren't going to have anything...
...prefer to sing songs about where they came from and about problems among people, not social movements. As performers, they come on with a simple, bluesy, rhythmic, straight-ahead sound. That's not bad. San Francisco-based Creedence is riding the crest of today's strongest pop wave-blues-oriented rock. The group's first single, Susie Q., rose to No. 11 on the Billboard charts last fall. Proud Mary was hit No. 2 in March, and the group's latest single, Bad Moon Rising, rose this week from No. 3 to No. 2. At recent...
...Spanish settlement of Taos, tucked away in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico, is loosely linked to the rest of the world only by narrow, crumbling ribbons of highways. It seemed a God-sent El Dorado for the nation's newest wave of migrants. Over the past two years, driven from the cities by hoodlums and a yearning for the pastoral life, some 1,000 hippies have settled around Taos-buying small plots of land, hand-fashioning adobe casas, and settling down to light farming. Along with their home-grown marijuana and vegetables, however, they have...
...make his measurements, Weber and his colleagues built a gravitational wave detector of extraordinary sensitivity that can record extremely small stresses and strains caused in its own structure by the impact of gravity waves from distant space. But, Weber had to be able to differentiate gravity-wave pat terns from those caused by any terrestrial movements or electromagnetic disturbances, to say nothing of the constant activity of the detector's own atoms...
Similar Peaks. To make this delicate distinction, Weber set up identical instruments at his headquarters in Col lege Park, Md., and at the Argonne National Laboratory, outside Chicago, nearly 700 miles away. As expected, the wave patterns traced out were at first random and dissimilar because the readings were being taken so far apart...
