To help fill the Midwest gap in research and defense contracts. Beadle counts on a new 12.5 billion-volt synchrotron at Argonne to lure physicists. Last month NASA began building a new space lab adjoining the Fermi Institute...

Candy Spots was galloping easily in third place, and Chateaugay was a distant seventh. Rounding the final turn, Shoemaker glanced back: Chateaugay was beginning to move. He clucked at Candy Spots. Into the stretch the horses thundered-Never Bend in front, Candy Spots second, Chateaugay now third and closing fast on the outside. In an instant, Candy Spots had the lead, Chateaugay was second...
