Coach Gary Walters carries only a nine man roster and last night's triumph was his charges' third Ivy win to date...
...Down quarks ('d') have an electric charge of -1/3, up quarks ('u') have charge + 2/3. And then there are sideways quarks ('s'). Sideways quarks are used to make "strange" particles, the ones with the long lifetimes, and are said to have "strangeness" 1. All other quarks have strangeness zero. The anti-particle of each quark (designated here by an *) has properties exactly opposite the appropriate quark. Thus the 's*' quark has charge +1/3 and strangeness...

This will require every federal department to justify all its programs, not just new expenditures, every year. Zero budgeting will be employed in the fiscal 1979 budget, Carter's first complete fiscal blueprint for the nation...

Though it may rise in the next 30 years, it is highly improbable that Americans in the foreseeable future will again engage in the great procreational spree...
...nation is seemingly on its way to the long-debated goal of Zero Population Growth (ZPG), the theoretical point at which deaths and births balance out. If present fertility and mortality rates remain constant, the U.S. population may stabilize around the year 2025 at between 260 million and 270 million (up from 216 million today...
