Star finds vandal
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD — Former
“Policewoman” Angie Dickinson
helped police track down a vandal
who had gone on a rampage at a
neighbor’s home.
Dickinson, former star of the tele
vision series “Police Woman,” told
officers she was awakened at her Col-
dwater Canyon home by the sound of
breaking glass at a neighbor’s house.
She said she looked outside and saw a
man running to a nearby home.
When officers arrived at the
scene, she told them where the sus
pect had gone. Film producer Wil
liam Tennant was arrested moments
later and booked on suspicion of
felony vandalism.
Officers said Tennant, who was re
leased on $1,000 bail, appeared to be
under the influence of some drug or
medication.

CHICAGO — Physicist James. W. Cronin heard the
news he had won a Nobel Prize Tuesday, then headed
for the physics class he is taking from one of his col
leagues at the University of Chicago.
“Wow! I can’t believe it — what can I say,” Cronin,
49, exclaimed on learning he and Val L. Fitch of Prince
ton University had received the $215,000 Nobel Prize
for physics for a discovery supporting one theory of the
universe s creation.
“Thank you,” he added simply.
Then Cronin, a graduate of Highland Park High
School and Southern Methodist Univerity in Dallas,
headed for his morning physics class on general relativ-
j ity. His secretary, Marypat Sharer, said university offi
cials decided not to release details on the course “be
cause of Dr. Cronin’s respect for the teacher, who would
not like any disturbances in his class.”
The Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences awarded the
physics prize for the discovery in 1964 of the “Fitch-
Cronin effect, ” which upset a basic principle of physics
and became a support for the Big-Bang theory of crea
tion and how matter was formed.
Cronin and Fitch, who were working at Brookhaven
National Laboratory on Long Island, N. Y., made a dis
covery that upset the fundamental concept of time-
reversal invariance — which held physical laws*
unchanged when the direction of time is revei*
Stated simply, the law held that in the physiali|
any event could be performed both backwards a
wards.
The Fitch-Cronin effect indicated somephysi

“What is striking is that preference for timell
one direction rather than the other has been fous
in this one instance, ” said Larry Arbeiter, asj
writer with the university’s public information!)

Close-ups of Saturn awaitef

United Press International
PASADENA, Calif. — Voyager 1 will race past the
giant ringed planet Saturn nearly a billion miles from
Earth Nov, 12, send back thousands of pictures and
reams of data and then leave the solar system.
The space probe, one of two Voyagers, has been
cruising toward Saturn ever since it swept by Jupiter 20
months ago and startled scientists with one discovery
after another.
Before Voyager with its two television cameras makes
its closest approach to Saturn at 77,174 miles, it will take
an even closer look at its moon Titan, the largest satellite
in the solar system and the only one with a substantial
atmosphere.
Voyager will fly to within 2,500 miles of Titan, which
is about the size of the planet Mercury. The moon is
blanketed by clouds, but scientists hope there will be
enough breaks to give Voyager’s cameras the first look
at the mysterious moon’s surface.
Scientists have speculated that Titan’s atmosphere
could support life, but its prevailing low temperatures of
324 degrees below zero Fahrenheit makes it unlikely.
Voyager 1 is followed by its twin. Voyager 2, which
will arrive at Saturn next August and then shoot onward
to other encounters with Uranus in January 1986 and
possibly Neptune in September 1989.
Voyager 1, however, will be kicked by Saturn’s grav
ity onto a trajectory that will take it eventually out of the
solar system and into deep space.
When Voyager arrives at Saturn, the giant planet will
be 947,633,145 miles from Earth. It will take an hour
and 25 minutes for pictures and data traveling
speed of light to reach Jet Propulsion Labo®
