...Options. Even so, there is every possibility that North Viet Nam's rulers will remain adamant in their refusal to negotiate. In that situation, the President will have to reconsider his options. Since withdrawal is out, they come down to two: aim for a stalemate or order a quantum intensification of the war effort-possibly in the air, certainly on the ground...
...more contemporary than Malamud's theme; that of identity. Within the "innocent-guilty" framework is embedded the hard, solid nut of Yakov's stubbornness: I am what I know is true. Malamud speaks for contemporary Americans as well as for one Russian Jew. Man's inner quantum soul is reflected here...
...University also honored three prominent scientists: John Rock '15, Clinical Professor of Gynecology, Emeritus and a pioneer in birth control (LL.D.); John H. Van Vleck, former dean of the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics and a forerunner in discoveries in quantum theory, who received a Doctor of Science; and chemist Manfred Eigen, division director at Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry at Goettingen, Germany, a pioneer in perfecting techniques to measure chemical reactions to a minute fraction of a second, who also received a Doctor of Science...
Newtonian or Quantum? After exposing the cylinder to light of a uniform wave length for periods ranging from half an hour to ten hours, the scientists analyzed its contents to detect molecules of deuterium hydride. The process was repeated, each time with a light beam of longer wave length and lower energy, until they failed to find molecules of deuterium hydride in the cylinder-no matter how long the gases had been exposed to the light. At this particular wave length, it seemed clear, the deuterium atoms had not been given enough velocity to split the hydrogen molecules and combine...
...they improve their techniques, the Caltech researchers hope to determine with assurance whether chemical reactions can be described by the laws of Newtonian physics-or by quantum mechanics, in which atoms and subatomic particles behave both like bits of matter and like light waves. Once the answer is known, scientists should be able to calculate precise chemical reaction rates and the amount of energy needed to cause ,them, taking most of the guesswork out of laboratory and industrial chemistry...
