   European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - March 23, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Monday. March 23, 1987 the stars and stripes Page 9 b9 Powe by Titch Fiali piano tar Art gallery ind video Arcade the Broadway Kino offers several kinds of entertainment and in atmosphere unlike most movie Heaters. Lam Stuhl Complex offers movies and More by Daryle. Green Kalsen Valera Barton Lan Stuhl Germany prudence . A on sipped a drink with her husband and listened to live music Ai she waited in the lobby or the Broadway Kino 10 see one of the holies new movies in the United slates. It might be a Little More than on base but it s Worth it to see first run movies Exon said Hie Kino is the Only Multi screen theater of its kind in Germany owner Ernst Pletsch claims. It attracts a targe american audience with first run movies then entertains them with live music a video made and a bar american motivated us Pielsch said of the Complex Santt Twoy located on the outskirts of the largest american military Community in Europe. It do secret that the whole area Here is dependent on american. Whoever says something different is wrong. And the americans know Ihal  the Kino features first run movies in English As web is top German releases. I be been to cafes assistant manager Dor a tace Duvivier said. You go there to see a film. You come Here for a night out film drinks piano  moviegoer can relax in a spacious lobby thai Seata approximately 300 people on Plush red velvet Couche and cozy tables for four As they wait to see the movie of their Choice. The lobby has a nightclub atmosphere Complete with grand piano and a bar stocked with soft dunks mixed drinks Beer and Coffee. Customers waiting for the next showing or in no hurry to meet the Rush in the parking lot Are treated to live music Friday and saturday evenings. The Kino runs four or five English language mov ies daily. And. While the admission Price of 10.50 Marks about $5.75 for adults and 6 Marks j3.3d for children under 12 causes a Little concern custom in seem to think they get heir Money s Worth. It s a Little bit High but compared to stateside prices it s not Loo High said Lisa Johnson who travelled with her husband and another couple from Pir Masens to catch  the Heater also offers the Broadway Kino pass for students aged 12 to 18. The pass costs 5 Marks a year and allows the Holder to see movies Tor 6 Marks. Special children s matinees featuring grated movies for the entire family an shown on weekends. During these showings each child under 12 can bring an adult free. Pletsch started construction on the 5 million Mark $2.75 million Kino which has been open for 18 months by selecting his Large screens first and then building the Complex around them. Traditionally when you say Heaters that Means big screens therefore big Heaters in dimensions and acoustics Pielsch said. The screen in theater one is 96 Square meters 115 Square Yards and the auditorium seals up to 312 people. Theater two has a 72-Square-meter 86-Square-Yard screen and seats 200, while the Ater three and theater four have 36-Squarc Mcter 43-Iquare-Yard screens and Seal 120 peo ple each. Even those 36 Square meters Are bigger than the majority of the multiplex Heaters 1 pc sch said. The Heaters All have tour seats to a Row and Largo aisles on both sides. So you Don t have to jump Over 20 Knees if you re. In the Middle he said. In front of those four seats is a Long table and an individually controlled tight. When we go to the Heaters and we have a Coke and maybe some sweets either you hold it and it s warm after 10 minutes or you put it Down and you kick it Over Pleisch said. Staff sgt Frank a Nasakaitis of Sembach a was t kicking Over any cokes but he did kick Back in one of the Large velvet couches in the lobby. It s Beautiful. You can t beat it he said. You be got a bar and you be got the theater Here. On base to s cheaper but you Don t get the movies you get Here. I come Here at least once a  race erupts to find new superconductors hew York Cap the race among physicists to find new superconductors has erupted into a worldwide free for All following breakthrough that one scientist describes As the physicists equivalent of running a 3 a-rninuk1 mile. With a single cautious scientific paper published last year in a German physics journal to scientists at an ism re search Laboratory in Switzerland announced the discovery of a striking new scientific phenomenon. Their work has opened the door to dramatic changes in the Way electricity will be generated transmitted and used. For example superconducting mag nets More powerful than any now Possi ble could improve the performance of magnetic resonance imaging machines used in Medicine. Such magnets might make it practical to Gene Trinity by Means of nuclear Tim Cess thai docs not  radioactive waste As of of Mana nuclear Power docs. With  electrical trans mis5ioajpk7dtrical generators could Bolo Jimca far from Scenic or residential to Van thousands of Miles away and Power could still be delivered without transmission losses. Superconducting computers could be far Marc compact and powerful than to Day s machines. Beyond that the phenomenon is so new and unexpected that futurists have not yet had Lime to dream. The recent excitement culminating in a symposium wednesday at an Ameri can physical society meeting in a York was generated by the dts Gejl Zurich of a new class of so fonts that could become sup eng Ping at temperatures far Labomme extremely Low  arc the phenomenon had grip been known to occur. Ions analogy is quite Correct Schwartz of Brooklyn College. Ine history of superconductivity has been like the race for the four minute mile. Then suddenly out of no where somebody ran a 3-Minutc  superconductivity a curious Al most unbelievable phenomenon in which electricity passes through wires with Zero resistance was discovered in the Netherlands 75 years ago. It occurred Only at temperatures a few degrees above absolute Zero 459 de Grees below Zero on the fahrenheit scale. Decades of work pushed the temperature up to about 418 degrees below 2 1973, and there ii remain the Field lost and Many Bimm Mcd into other Fields people were a Little bit Dis _. Says Brian Maple professor of physics at the University of califor Nia san Diego. In april 1986, k. Alex Muller and j. Reorg Bednorz at ism s Zurich laboratories suddenly pushed the tempera Ture to almost 400 degrees below Zero with the discovery of a new class of superconducting materials. The race was on. The materials made of Lanthanum barium Copper and of Gyc were so easy to produce that physicists could in a matter of a few Days drop what they were doing and begin new research. It s like somebody opened up some new area in which there were All of these things said Maple. We just have to run in there and see what they  in february University of part archers in temperature to below Zero fahrenheit Itil uting yttrium for Lanthanum. Researcher Constantin Kolilis of Karlsruhe Germany showed evidence last week of superconductivity at 134 de Grees below Zero. And Chu has hints thai superconductivity might occur at temperatures As High As 27 degrees below Zero. Physicists All Over inc world have now joined the sweepstakes. Neil Ashcroft of Cornell University said we have devoted about 30 people to this since the Early Days the Early Days being defined As inc Middle of de  this is the dream Ofa lot  for a Long time said Zhao Zhongxian of inc Institute of physics in Beijing. At least 50 scientists reported new findings at a symposium wednesday night that lasted until 3 15 . When the doors to the symposium at the new York i lion hotel opened shortly before 7 p.m., physicists knocked Over chairs in 3 scramble to get in and get seats. M
