...last ditch effort to save her life, friends sent Rossall, 31, to Dallas last month to be treated at the Brookhaven Medical Center's Environmental Control Unit. The unit is one of a handful of clinics in the U.S. devoted to a new and controversial branch of medicine, clinical ecology. Specialists in the field, founded by Chicago Allergist Theron Randolph, 74, theorize that some people are especially sensitive to man-made chemicals in the environment, and suffer allergic-type reactions. Says Randolph: "These individuals rapidly become susceptible to a wider range of materials. Sooner or later, in the worst...
Late last December, Robert Earl ("Bubba") May Jr., 14, was arrested with three companions for using a shotgun to rob two fireworks stands near the sleepy farm town of Brookhaven, Miss., and stealing a wallet. Two nights later Bubba and two of his accomplices robbed a grocery and beat up a saleswoman. Indicted on four counts of armed robbery, he was convicted only a week later. His sentence: 48 years in prison without chance of parole, the product of a plea bargain by his court-appointed attorney...
...spent most of the '50s working as a research fellow in various labs, starting at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1951, and working at different times in Copenhagen, Denmark and Cambridge, England. After 1958 Tosteson quickly worked his way up through the ranks of academic medicine, becoming a professor and chairman of the departments of physiology and pharmacology at the Duke University School of Medicine in 1961. While at Duke he became involved in national research groups and physicians' organizations, and served as chairman of the Association of American Medical Colleges...
More support for Glashow's work came in 1974 with the discovery of the J or psi particle at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The particle was eventually interpreted as a combination of a charmed quark (c) and a charmed anti-quark (c*). But final confirmation came in May 1976, when the Stanford team, led by Gerson Goldhaber, found incontrovertible evidence that charmed particles exist...
...than to most Nobel laureates, who often wait a decade or longer before the importance of their work is acknowledged by the Royal Academy. The two physicists won their prize for discoveries reported two years ago. In November 1974 Ting, who had been working at New York's Brookhaven National Laboratory, visited Richter at Stanford and told him he had just discovered a new member of the "subatomic zoo," the ever growing list of tiny particles identified in experiments with giant atom-smashing machines. Ting was startled to get instant confirmation of his finding; Richter had independently discovered...
