	Lawrence and His Laboratory: Chapter 1: A New Lab for a New Science
		Lawrence thought to recycle the particles by bending their paths in a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of their orbit, and to accelerate them twice a turn.
		Lawrence and Livingston bent the electric field lines and hence the paths of the particles toward the central horizontal plane of the cyclotron by placing a grid across the entrance to the dee.
		Lawrence hinted that the cyclotron might be useful for high voltage x-ray technology as well as for nuclear physics; the Research Corporation made available $5000, and its president, Howard Poillon, secured $2500 from the Chemical Foundation to move and equip the magnet yoke.

	Classification of the Coleoptera of North America / John L. LeConte and George H. Horn.
		The "Classification of the Coleoptera of North America" is a monument to the analytical powers of one of America's greatest entomologists, Dr. John Lawrence LeConte (1825-1883).
		Originally prepared and partially published in 1861-62, the task was completed in 1883 with the able assistance of his colleague and protege, George H. Horn.
		Although various specialists have improved or expanded the classification of individual families, this book remains the single most important work on the classification of North American beetles and is indispensable to the student of these insects.

		Lawrence, who had advertised possession of the world's most powerful neutron beam (formed by irradiating beryllium-9 with ten billionths of an ampere of accelerated deuterons) once again confirmed and extended European results, and expressed surprise at the richness of nuclear transactions.
		John Lawrence became interested in the biological effects of neotrons during a 1935 visit to Berkeley, and soon joined his brother's team.
