Physicists at Berkeley, said Thornton, had shot high energy (100,000,000 electron-volt) neutrons and protons through carbon and other elements. Knowing the size and number of the nuclei, they could calculate how many particles should pass through the material without hitting any nuclei. More came through than the calculations had allowed for, and with hardly any loss of energy-indicating that the nuclei are not nearly so solid as supposed. It was enough to make nonscientists nervous...

Agriculture now believes it has the situation under control. Its bee scientists fasten a virgin queen in a small tube and drug her with carbon dioxide. After a while she lays a mass of unfertilized eggs, which can develop only into drones (another odd bee characteristic). The bee men rear these parthenogenetic males to maturity. Then they use one of them to inseminate artificially the same, still-virgin queen. Thereafter her eggs are fertile and develop into females (workers or queens) fathered by her own fatherless...
