Administration officials believe the Soviets arrested Daniloff to gain leverage in their attempt to win the release of Gennadiv Zakharov, an employee of the United Nations. American security agents arrested the Soviet physicist and charged him with spying on August...
There are some outstanding exceptions. Nobel Physicist Carlo Rubbia takes on freshmen in a seminar program. Nuclear Expert and Political Scientist Joseph Nye dines informally with undergrads and hosts small discussion groups. Alan Brinkley, son of TV Commentator David, teaches an oversubscribed course on the Viet Nam War and a lecture series in American history. He does so with such fine basic organization that students claim their notes write themselves. Physics Professor Gerald Holton has punctuated his lecture on dynamics and energy by strapping on a helmet, jumping into a go-cart powered by a fire extinguisher and jetting...
...title Demon Box refers to Physicist James Clerk Maxwell's colorful explanation of perpetual motion. In the book Maxwell's model is used by a California therapy guru, fictionalized as Dr. Klaus Woofner, to explain human behavior. Kesey the globe trotter and spiritual joker seems entranced. But Kesey the planter of corn and milker of cows presents Woofner as another psycho-alchemist trying to turn a metaphor into a 14-karat gimmick. The point is made admiringly by one skilled fancifier to another. After all, the charlatan, like the artist, exploits illusion and a sense of mystery. Behind the plow...
...maintaining a car gets to you," says Larry Haines, 71, a retiree who has spent nearly $40,000 on the Clover Colony in 14 years. Haines' car is a bargain compared with the Caritas, a 1948 Pullman bought for $10,000 three years ago by Clark Johnson, a Denver physicist. Some $280,000 later, the Caritas is an art-deco beauty, its 14 roomettes ripped out and replaced with a lounge, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and an open-air platform. Richard Horstmann, 50, a political consultant from Syracuse, admits, "I can't afford this," meaning the Black Diamond, which...
...also have to be brilliant. Of the 20,000 people employed by Bell Labs in 19 facilities spread throughout the nation, 2,769 are Ph.D.s. "The brainpower around here is enormous," says Physicist Horst Stormer, referring to the Murray Hill branch, where a force of 3,200 does much of Bell's basic research. "This is like a university with a faculty of 500 physicists. If all of us took off and went to different universities, we wouldn't have the same impact." But clumped together, like uranium fuel rods in a reactor, the physicists and other Murray Hillers form...
