...different way. When the atom stream shoots through a system of magnets, the low-energy atoms in it are deflected sideways while the high-energy ones converge, pass through a small hole in a 6-in. quartz bulb. The bulb is lined with paraffin which does not affect the atom's energy state as metal or bare quartz would, so the atoms bounce about inside for as much as a whole second, hitting the walls 10,000 times without losing their extra energy...
...also finds that acute attitudes derived from daily life rarely affect Vermont voters' political preferences. One young married lady, for example, launched into a passionate condemnation of the people she had seen who went to Europe and felt that they were superior to Europeans. "We have no right to do that," she said, "it's as though I insulted my neighbor because her garden is different than mine."

A 60-year-old business executive said, "I'll still have to work for a living and I'm too old to go to war, so I doubt that it will affect...
...level is based on the superficial arguments that woman students might suffer from lack of attention and that educational experiments might be severely curtailed under a joint administration. In reality, a merger might cause Harvard to consider Radcliffe's position more thoroughly when making decisions which now do not affect the Annex in theory but do in practice. And there is no educational experiment in recent years which has not applied equally to Radcliffe and Harvard undergraduates...
...issue that this election will affect immediately is the Willard Uphaus case. Wyman has indicated that he may reopen investigations of the New Haven pacifist who was jailed for refusing to divulge names of people who attended his summer conferences in North Conway. Boutin does not think Uphaus's conviction was unjust, but says that the Subversion Act under which Wyman operated "isn't a good law."; Boutin's backers will probably influence him to forget the case. Uphaus may return unharassed to New Haven if Boutin wins on Tuesday, but there won't be a revolution in New Hampshire...
