and a Branch five inches in diameter smashed through the Windshield and speared authorities City police say they have no idea what caused the tree to break off about two feet above the ground and fall into the Ive never seen one like said Geneva police Frank it was a real the Branch shattered the penetrated the Chest of Stephen near his left Arm and came out his pane the truck continued about 300

had fallen before Lynch came but he said that was unlikely because there were no Brake Marks indicating Lynch saw a viewers offer imaginative ways to kill off departing Dallas stars Atlanta a Bobby

episode of the Advance in xray laser technology reported new York not what appears to be an important Advance in developing an xray laser space weapon powered by a nuclear bomb has been made by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Labo Federal scientists said according to these scientists and others familiar with the to secret the Advance has increased the brightness and thus the Power of the xray device by focusing its major critics of the space based defense against missiles reportedly have been briefed on the Hans the Nobel laureate physicist who has been a key wrote this to the chief scientist on the space based defense project soon after the briefing the xray laser should not be disqualified simply because it exploits a nuclear explosion As a Power Bethe has been publicly disparaging of the xray it is not Clear if the briefing was what changed his the xray laser has been under development for nearly five years at the Livermore Laboratory in California and was a major catalyst in the Start of the space based missile widely known As Star the first generation device was known As after the legendary sword that King Arthur pulled from a the new device is known As super in recent administration officials have tended to play Down the xray lasers importance in the billion re search project on space emphasizing instead the use of nonnuclear devices to destroy enemy missiles in for exam these devices might hurl no explosive projectiles to destroy targets through their Speed and increased brightness is crucial if the laser in the xray Range of the spectrum is Ever to be effective against satellites and missiles in according to both defenders and detractors of the the nuclear xray laser takes the Power of a nuclear explosion and channels it into laser rods that Emit powerful bursts of a Over Long distances in these rays would spread gradually reducing the weapons destructive according to government a method of focusing the rays was tested in Nevada in an underground the test occurred on March the second anniversary of president reagans speech pro posing a space shield to Render nuclear weapons impotent and Days before the Bethe and Sid Ney Drell of Stanford University went to the Livermore Laboratory for their according to scientists familiar with the in neither Bethe nor Drell would comment on any aspect of the Livermore which is tightly wrap Ped in government according to Federal the key aspect of the Advance is to use special optics to focus rays As they Stream out or the nuclear Many critics had viewed the task As virtually since x rays penetrate matter rather than being re Bent or focused by in in testimony before the House Republican study Robert a physicist at Dart Mouth who is a proponent of the space based missile derided such criticisms and said ways would be found to focus the xray he is one of the most promising possibilities for a defense against soviet the team of Livermore scientists responsible for the xray Advance recently held a gala Celebration of High brightness events coinciding with the second anniversary of president Ronald reagans strategic de sense according to a sign posted at the scientists familiar with the underground test say the while generally were in some cases in an Bethe referred to Rea Gans strategic defense saying i still feel that ski As a whole is but within it one should not discriminate against the xray you should not Rule out any specific technology for political some critics maintain that the administration is moving toward demonstrations soon of particular antimissile systems in they prefer that the research investigate a Broad Range of potential tech nolo
