...Trowbridge, a bullpen hopeful early in the season, worked long hours with Braves Pitching Coach Whit Wyatt, learned to put a sharper break on his slider. Fortnight ago 28-year-old Trowbridge pitched seven hitless innings against the Giants, is now a valued reliefer with...
Amid the usual postvictory fuss (Miss Colombia has only been kissed once, said her mother, and that was a chaste peck for a publicity still with "that actor"(Hugh O'Brian, TV's Wyatt Earp), those who had tentatively picked blondes tracked back to discover where things had gone wrong. A precrowning favorite was Miss U.S.A., Eurlyne Howell of Bossier City, La. Five feet six inches tall in her stocking feet, and even more statuesque in high heels, she was tailored to the Kelly pattern. Her shoulders were slim, her hair simply arranged...
...rightfully wonder what television's got to do with it. I'll tell you. It's the last hope. The TV western--from Wyatt Earp to Mike Paladin--is Custer's Last Stand for the American Male. It is one last fling at virility by a vanishing breed...
Last week, in the British publication, Nature, Florida State University Physicist Philip J. Wyatt suggested one possible clue: "Of the many craters on the earth known to have been produced by fallen meteors, a few have left no signs of the meteor which caused them, apart from the huge holes created in the earth's crust." Could antimatter possibly have been involved? If so, says Wyatt, "no traces of the meteors would remain, due to the annihilation process." Best example is the huge meteor that blazed over southern Russia on the morning of June 30, 1908. Minutes later...
Physicist Wyatt suggests another search at the site for short-lived radioisotopes, produced by intense gamma radiation, which could prove the point. One theoretical flaw in the argument is that an antimatter meteor ought to explode shortly after whizzing into the earth's atmosphere. Moreover, anti-gravity may be a property of antimatter. Unlike other meteors, which fall into the earth's gravitational field, an antimatter meteor would be repelled. But if antimatter does not have antigravity, an antimatter meteor - if big enough to survive the annihilation of its surface - might hit the earth...
