rodham 332.rod.003 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived at the White House after serving as First Lady of Arkansas for twelve years. During that time she worked as a full-time partner of a law firm, chaired an education committee that set public school standards in Arkansas, managed a home, and cared for her husband and child. On many occasions, Hillary Clinton has spoken about the need to find the right balance in our lives. For her, the elements of that balance are family, work, and public service.

Hillary Diane Rodham was born in Chicago, Illinois, on October 26, 1947, daughter of Hugh and Dorothy Rodham. She and her younger two brothers grew up in Park Ridge, Illinois, as a close-knit family. An excellent student, she was also a Girl Scout and a member of the local Methodist youth group. Hillary also enjoyed sports and was always interested in politics.

She entered Wellesley College in 1965. Graduating with high honors, she moved on to Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action. While at Yale, she developed her special concern for protecting the best interests of children and their families. It was there that she met Bill Clinton, a fellow student.

In 1973, Hillary became a staff attorney for the Children's Defense Fund. A year later she was recruited by the Impeachment Inquiry staff of the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives to work on the Watergate Impeachment proceedings.

running 332.77 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

A: After the stage in which we fought, while trying to restructure our forces, we switched to an offensive, to a counter-attack, and the plan was that Sharon's division, with all the crossing equipment, would conquer a bridge-head and lay bridges in one night, and my division would remain behind, prepared, and in the morning it would cross the bridges and go directly to Suez to surround the Third Army. What happened was that Sharon's division succeeded immensely: they crossed over, they got a good position, and acted in the enemy's rear; but then the Egyptians discovered them and terrible battles began there, bloody battles at a close range: 30 meters between them. And then in the morning, we had a bridge-head, but Sharon's division was completely worn out; they had terrible losses, they had very few tanks, they had a great number of casualties, and the passageway to the bridge-head was in fact cut off by the Egyptians: it was under Egyptian fire and it was impossible to take equipment across. What was worse was that during the night, Sharon did not manage to bring across the bridge-building equipment. This equipment, I must say, was very awkward: we had rafts, each of which weighed 80 tons, dragged along by tanks. We had a bridge that weighed 250 tons, and it was dragged through the sand dunes. It broke: the rafts got stuck in the convoys way back, dozens of kilometers behind us, and none of the crossing equipment arrived at the bridgehead. In the morning, when we reached the bridge-head, it turned out that it was under Egyptian fire, so, in contrast to our plan of building the bridges and crossing in one night, in fact in the morning we woke up with a bridge-head, a passageway to the bridge-head, but no crossing equipment at all, and it was all stuck in convoys along very, very narrow roads, with sand-dunes on both sides of the roads, and it was clear that in fact the crossing had failed in a certain sense. Now, my division was activated in the morning, because the Egyptians attacked with tanks both east and west of the Canal, and we were brought into the battle in order to push them back and get them away from the bridgehead. My division was supposed to concentrate all the crossing equipment that Sharon had left behind, and we very, very slowly, managed to get all this very heavy equipment up front, not far from the bridge-head; and during an entire day, the 16th of the month, we had battles with Egyptian tanks that were trying to drag us... there were many canals there - it was called "the Chinese farm": it was an agricultural area with canals in which Egyptian soldiers were running around. They tried to use sagger missiles against us; they would attack us and run back, so that we would run after them into the trenches and [then] they would attack us. But in fact we fought them from afar and we did not get dragged into the trenches. So an entire day's fighting went by. In the meantime, we asked for reinforcements of paratroopers, infantry, to clean out these trenches and to get the Egyptians further away and broaden the bridgehead. But in the meantime, we got information that the Third Army was sending an Egyptian brigade to attack from the south. As it was, they were attacking only from the north; now we were told that Egyptian tanks would be arriving from the south to attack us as well. Then I decided that I would put a tank brigade in ambush in the sand dunes; I would camouflage them with nets and they would be there to act against the force coming from the south. And in the morning... no, at night, that night we got paratroopers, and they went out into battle to broaden the passageway to the bridgehead. They arrived quite late; they came from Sharm-al-Sheikh, from a very far-away front, and they arrived in helicopters, very slowly... and we built up a paratrooper battalion, which entered into a very difficult battle.

GeV 81.gev.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

In the third method of search, Fig. 10(c), only a single γ-ray is detected. The presence of a monoenergetic y-ray line would signal a radiative transition directly to a specific intermediate state. In our apparatus, this method is difficult to apply because of the severe background problems, but we were able to identify the direct γ-ray transition to the 3.4 GeV state [17]. A different experimental group working at SPEAR (a collaboration among the Uni- versities of Maryland, Princeton, Pavia, Stanford and UC-San Diego) was able to make use of a more refined detection system to observe several of these radiative transitions and to measure the v’ branching franctions of those states [19]
.
To summarize, these studies have led to the addition of four (the 2800-MeV state is still marginal) new intermediate state, all with charge-conjugation C = + 1, to the original ψ and y’ particles.
6. TOTAL CROSS SECTION AND BROADER STATES
6.1. Total Cross Section
So far our discussion of the process e+e-→hadrons has been concerned largely with the two psi particles, which are created directly in e+e- annihilation, and with the intermediate states, which are not directly created but rather appear only in the decay products of the ψ and y’. It is now time to turn our attention to the larger picture of hadron production to see what else can be learned.
Figure 4 presented the total cross section for e+e-→hadrons over the full range of c.m. energies accessible to SPEAR. This figure was dominated by the ψ and y’ resonance peaks, and very little else about the possible structure of the
cross section outside of these peaks was observable. We now remedy this situation in Fig. 13, which shows the hadron/muon-pair ratio R, with the dominating ψ and w’ resonance peaks removed, including their radiative tails.

We can characterize the data in the following way. Below about 3.8 GeV, R lies on a roughly constant plateau at a value of ~2.5; there is a complex transition region between about 3.8 and perhaps 5 GeV in which there is considerable structure; and above about 5.5 GeV, R once again lies on a roughly constant plateau at a value of ~5.2 GeV.
6.2. Broader (Psi?) States
The transition region is shown on a much expanded energy scale in Fig. 14. This figure clearly shows that there seem to be several individual resonant states superposed on the rising background curve that connects the lower and upper plateau regions [20]. One state stands out quite clearly at a mass of 3.95 GeV, and another at about 4.4 GeV. The region near 4.1 GeV is re- markably complex and is probably composed of two or more overlapping states; more data will certainly be required to try to sort this out.
