The European Center for Nuclear Research retains its air of purpose and international harmony. So we found when we lunched there recently with the director‐general, Bernard Gregory, and members of ECFA, the European Committee for Future Accelerators, which was meeting that day at CERN, just outside Geneva. ECFA appears to be approaching the European 300‐GeV accelerator with the same smoothness that has been characteristic of CERN since its 1952 founding. Touring the site and talking with physicists, we found that, aside from the 300‐GeV plans, the most stimulating conversation pieces are two storage rings and a neutrino facility that is abuilding.
