...Macomb, Ill., even turned up with a complete Mozart string quintet transcribed for the sax. French Virtuoso Jean-Marie Londeix wailed into some high, American-style leaps during the premiere of Fellow Countryman Guy Lacour's Hommage à Jacques Ibert, thereby precipitating excited talk of a possible fusion between the French school of playing (bright, full tone, strict adherence to the instrument's normal 2½-octave range) and the American (more jazz-influenced, less inhibited in tone and pitch...
...Another reason for the intensified research into high-energy lasers in both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. is that they may finally offer the means to achieve the enormously high temperatures (several hundred million degrees Fahrenheit) needed to sustain fusion reactions for power production
...Kennedy School of Government, and possible "related structures"--may prove to be the greatest blessing to the economic vitality of the Square in this century. But it doesn't assuage the fear that the ingredients of success may be ruined in the mixing, turning the Square into an ugly fusion of traffic jams, parking lots and tickey-tac, thereby destroying the small stores and whatever remains of the Square's college-town atmosphere...
...wheat? A plant that yields both tomatoes and potatoes? Strong Turkish tobacco that burns as smoothly as mild Virginia leaf? Such unlikely hybrids may now be a little closer to reality. Last week an Atomic Energy Commission researcher announced that he had achieved a long-elusive goal: the successful fusion of two different species of plant cells into a hybrid that has characteristics of both its "parents" and is capable of reproduction...
...laid off from the Rand Corp. after money was withdrawn from the environmental project he was assigned to. Setting up shop in his Santa Monica, Calif., home, he turned to a pet project and early this summer finally completed some complex calculations on possible means of controlling thermonuclear fusion-the same awesome process that fires the sun and other stars. The goal of LoDato's work was hardly new; like many scientists in laboratories round the world, he proposed using laser beams to reach the enormous temperatures (as high as several hundred million degrees) needed to sustain fusion reactions...
