Maybe so, in all physical processes known to Hermann Bondi!  But any 
student who has spent two days in a particle physics class knows better.
And how clever of you to reference a magazine so obscure that even *I*
couldn't find it, with all the resources of the University of California
Library system at my disposal.  I am told by our local LBL physics librarian
that Physics Bulletin was a cross between the APS bulletin with it's
abstracts, and a small-scale Physics Today, with newsy items, appointments,
obits, that sort of thing.  It has been replaced by Physics World.  The
U.C. Library, which saves office memos and old toilet paper, never bothered
to keep its copies of Physics Bulletin.

So I guess that the wisdom of Hermann Bondi is just lost to me...
