...telephone calls, finally reported them to the FBI. Driving to the Capitol one morning last week. Thompson was stopped at a red light when a green Ford truck pulled up next to him. A man leaned out the window, pointed a rubber syringe at Thompson, squirted a stream of liquid. Only bad aim saved Frank Thompson from serious injury: the liquid was sulphuric acid, and the little that did hit Thompson burned a hole through his shirt, raised a blister...

...reactors can be made in many ways. Some look good on paper but turn out to be impractical in actual use. In its effort to develop low-cost nuclear power, the Atomic Energy Commission has long experimented at such places as Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, with new liquid reactor fuels-a low-melting alloy of U-233 and bismuth, a solution of uranyl sulfate, and others. But AEC soon discovered that the program was leading only to prohibitively expensive means of obtaining competitive electrical energy, and last week it announced a shift in emphasis: funds for the Brookhaven...

...bottles is being sold by Pol-Air, Inc., Morgan City, La. The device is cooled by a copper coil that is connected to the car's carburetor and gas line. The carburetor draws gas from the gas line through the coil, where it changes from a liquid to a vapor and in the process absorbs heat, then is fed back to the carburetor. Price...

...million people in Western Europe's new Common Market nations, feeding oil by tanker into the southern end of a projected 36-inch pipeline from Marseille to Karlsruhe. Sahara's natural gas might be transported to Europe either by tankers specially built to carry it in liquid form or by a trans-Mediterranean pipeline through Spain. And Algeria itself will benefit from a feeder line to carry gas from Hassi R'Mel to the steel plant which by De Gaulle's decree is to be built near...

...bubble-chamber picture (see cut), an antiproton from the Bevatron enters at bottom and hits a proton (1): out of the collision come one lambda and one anti-lambda particle. Since both are neutral electrically, they leave no tracks in the liquid hydrogen, but after a short, invisible career, each decays into track-leaving particles by which it can be identified. The lambda ( 2) turns into a proton and a negative pi meson, both of which go off the picture leaving strong curved tracks. The anti-lambda (3) turns into an antiproton and a positive pi meson. The positive...
