...always at a loss for a good answer, knowing that they knew about the ghetto only through the newspapers or perhaps Life magazine. To most of them, living in an all-white suburb, Watts meant violence, a pocket of black men seething with discontent, waiting for another incident to spark a week of looting and burning. Behind the curiosity of my neghbors was the tacit question, "Were they...
Actually, Harvard completed only four of 14 passes on the way to a 30-7 victory over Lafayette amidst a gusty 25 mile-per-hour wind, but junior quarterback Ric Zimmerman demonstrated that the new Crimson offense has some spark and magination which Harvard people haven't seen in a long time...
...racist mayor and his corrupt police department." Though Carmichael insisted that his agitators had not started the riot, police arrested him on charges of inciting a riot and disturbing the peace. The prophet of black power was jailed under $10,000 bond, awaiting a grand-jury investigation of the spark that became a bonfire which was not easily quenched. At week's end a Negro teen-ager was shot and killed and another was wounded, apparently by two whites in a moving car. A policeman assigned to investigate the violence was then wounded by a sniper. The bottles...
Reversing the Field. In their experiment at Geneva, the European physicists also studied eta-meson decay. They analyzed 10,665 photographs of tracks made by pions in the CERN spark chamber, and in their larger, more reliable statistical sample, they found no significant difference in the energy levels of positive and negative pions...
...fixed magnetic field, the positive pions that Franzini studied always curved in one direction, while the negative pions went the other way. If the field had been uneven for any reason, the higher positive-pion energy levels detected at Brookhaven might well have been erroneous. In the CERN spark chamber, the magnetic field was periodically reversed to make sure that positive and negative pions would both be subject to any variations in the field...
