...suspects eluded the dragnet. Johannes Koppe, 47, a Hamburg nuclear physicist and his wife Hannelore were gone when police arrived; they had apparently been alerted by a message on an illegal short-wave radio that was found in their apartment. Reiner Paul Fülle, 40, an accountant for a Karlsruhe plant that recycles nuclear fuel, was caught by the Bundeskriminalamt, West Germany's equivalent of the FBI. But when the lone agent assigned to drive Fülle to jail reached the prison and got out of the car the prisoner, who unaccountably had not been manacled, leaped...
...Bonn government still ended up with what one official called a "most valuable" cache of documents and four other prisoners: Alfred Bahr, 58, a physicist in the solar-power division of Munich's Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm aerospace plant; Karl Hauffe, 65, head of the organic chemistry department at Göttingen University; Günter Sänger, 32, an engineer with the giant Siemens electronics corporation in Coburg; and Gerhard Arnold, 43, an executive of a Munich computer company. None was as big a fish as Günter Guillaume, longtime former aide to Chancellor Willy...
...economist at the Commerce Department and one of the Administration's key economic tea-leaf readers. To determine where the economy is going, she pores over mountains of statistics that Commerce collects on trade, inflation, retail sales and other matters. As a student, Slater wanted to become a physicist, but was told by a professor that "women just did not go into physics." After graduating as a history major from Oberlin College and marrying (her husband is a program analyst for the National Science Foundation), Slater decided to enter a field that would lead to Government work, and economics...
Antinuke forces thought such celebrating was premature. Physicist Henry Kendall of the Union of Concerned Scientists called the test meaningless because the LOFT reactor has less than 2% of the output of a typical atomic plant. Said his colleague Robert Pollard: "It's like using a kite to prove a moon rocket will work." But LOFT scientists rejected that argument. Said one: "It isn't necessary to crash 747s against buildings to test their safety." One thing was indisputable: the emergency core cooling system did work. Just to make sure that it does the job under different conditions, the Commission...
DIED. Samuel A. Goudsmit, 76, Dutch-born atomic physicist and amateur Egyptologist; of a heart attack; in Reno. In 1925, while enrolled in the University of Leiden, Goudsmit and Fellow Student George E. Uhlenbeck determined that an electron spins as it orbits the nucleus of an atom, a discovery that helped explain how atoms have magnetic properties. Two years later, he emigrated to the U.S., and during World War II served on a secret European mission to investigate German progress toward the atomic bomb...
