Alexander Hellemans
Last month, the governing Council of CERN, the European particle physics lab near Geneva, tapped one of its own, Council President Luciano Maiani, to be the lab's next director-general. Maiani will take up the post in January 1999 when current incumbent Christopher Llewellyn Smith completes his 5-year term.
