...necessity to remove almost all the water before the slurry could be burned has discouraged other companies from following Cleveland Electric's example. Last week New York's Babcock & Wilcox Co. demonstrated a furnace that can burn slurry with 30% water content, making pipeline-pumped coal almost as easy to handle as fuel oil. Plans for a coal pipeline from the Pennsylvania and West Virginia fields to big East Coast power companies are already under consideration. But to coal producers and consumers alike, pumped coal's greatest immediate usefulness is apt to be in beating down railroad...
...accomplishment is two-fold: he turns abstract dialogue into tangible conflict (no easy chore) and he uses symbols only to represent, never to replace, the forces that alter mens lives.

Ignoring medical training, which calls for wrapping the burn in a bandage, he plunged the burned hand into a sinkful of cold water. The pain stopped.

During meteor showers, he feels sure, the smallest meteoric particles hit the atmosphere softly and sink slowly toward earth. Larger meteors burn up, their smoke-fine debris sinking with the rest. The particles take about 30 days to reach the lower atmosphere, where they then turn clouds into rain...
