When the Manhattan Project began during World War II, Moon’s cyclotron was essential as a source of neutrons for transmuting and testing materials, in par- ticular testing the ability of graphite to slow down (moderate) the neutrons which would be used to bombard and split uranium, releasing energy in the process. It was Moon who figured out how to get the necessary purity in the graphite blocks so that they could mod- erate the neutron speed, and thereby ac- celerate the uranium fission into a chain reaction.

MAKING IT IN AMERICA: HOW CHARLES DICKENS AND HIS CUNNING MANAGER GEORGE DOLBY MADE MILLIONS FROM A PERFORMANCE TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES, 1867-1868 by JILLIAN MARTIN Under the Direction of Leonard Teel, PhD ABSTRACT Charles Dickens embarked on a profitable journey to the United States in 1867, when he was the most famous writer in the world. He gave seventy-six public readings, in eighteen cities. Dickens and his manager, George Dolby, devised the tour to cash in on his popularity, and Dickens earned the equivalent of more than three million dollars. They created a persona of Dickens beyond the literary luminary he already was, with the help of the impresario, P.T. Barnum. Dickens became the first British celebrity to profit from paid readings in the United States.

  • 2002 January
    Excerpts from the January 2002 edition of Trail Talk: OCTA 's 20th by Patricia Loomis Reno, "The Biggest Little City," is all set to host OCTA's twentieth convention in August 14- 17; it is promising to be an event to be remembered. The setting is right -at the western end of the trails that drew thousands of emigrants from the 1840s up through the gold rush years and later. The deserts had been conquered and the mighty Sierra loomed to the west. Beyond lay California, the "promised land" which had drawn the great migration. The Reno convention will offer trips over the old trails, where landmarks match the diary quotes. September 4, 1849 The long-dreaded desert had been crossed and we are all safe and well... (rested two days) green grass and beautiful, and the cattle up to their eyes in it. " Sallie Rester Speakers will document the history of the various routes, and a barbecue will be held at the famed National Automobile Museum in Reno. A potential problem, which loomed when the first choice for the convention hotel was suddenly sold, has been solved with the selection of Reno's newly renovated Circus Circus. Dale Hollecker of Reno gets the credit for signing OCTA up with this hotel which has state-of-the-art facilities, free parking, and is less expensive than the other facitlity. Hollecker says convention attendees will pay some $50 LESS over a five night stay than at the Flamingo. Among the activities planned are a hike in the Sierra,trips to the dreaded 40-mile Desert, Sand Springs Station, over the Big Trees Road, and over part of the Truckee route above Verdi.

  • Appendix I P. T. Barnum: Humbug and Reality
    APPENDIX I P. T. BARNUM: HUMBUG AND REALITY s a candidate for the father of American show business, Barnum’s Awider significance is still being quarried by those with an interest in social and cultural history. The preceding chapters have shown how vari- ety, animal exhibits, circus acts, minstrelsy, and especially freak shows, owe much of their subsequent momentum to his popularization of these amusement forms. For, while Barnum has long been associated in popular memory solely with the circus business, his overall career as an entertainment promoter embraced far more than the celebrated ringmas- ter figure of present-day public estimation. Barnum saw himself as “the museum man” for the better part of his long show business career, following his successful management of the American Museum from the 1840s to the 1860s. To repeat, for all Barnum’s reputation today as a “circus man,” he saw himself first and foremost as a museum proprietor, one who did much to promote and legitimize the display of “human curiosities.”1 While the emergence of an “American” national consciousness has been dated to the third quarter of the eighteenth century, Barnum’s self- presentation was central to the cultural formation of a particular middle- class American sense of identity in the second half of the nineteenth century (see chapter 1), as well as helping to shape the new show business ethos. Over time, he also became an iconic or referential figure in the wider culture, with multiple representations in cinematic, theatrical, and literary form (see below).Yet was Barnum really the cultural pacesetter as he is often presented in popular biographical writing, not to mention his own self-aggrandizing prose.

Murphy* I. INTRODUCTION ¶1 While the Madrid Protocol (“the Protocol”) is not the sequel to The Da Vinci Code,1 it has created a similar aura of suspense and mystery among trademark lawyers in the United States. Metaphorically, it has been something of a Holy Grail for trademark practitioners; the International Trademark Association has been urging the United States to join the Madrid Union for over a century.2 ¶2 In fact, the Protocol is neither the Holy Grail nor humbug. Rather, it is one of several means for obtaining international trademark protection. This paper summarizes the major provisions of the Protocol, and explains how it works both from the standpoint of a U.S. applicant seeking protection abroad, and a foreign applicant seeking protection in the United States. In addition, this paper examines the pros and cons of the Madrid filing system.
