...fields and got short bursts of neutrons which made them think that the deuterium was turning into helium and giving off hits of H-bomb energy. This would be something to cheer about. It could lead to a fusion power plant that would i) create little radioactivity; and 2) burn comparatively cheap deuterium, which is plentiful enough in all water to give each gallon the energy yield of 300 gallons of gasoline. But the scientists usually found that the neutrons came from less interesting reactions-and never could they prove that they came from genuine fusion...

"I need fire," he reassures his conscience, "to burn away the apathy" of middle age. But he is stunned when his wife (Eva Dahlbeck), who soon finds out about the affair, decides to strike a match of her own.
