From the outset the story moves at a rapid pace, short brisk chapters, each one which brings a new complex of situations or new discoveries to . The dialogue and characters are very convincing and the dull moments that do occur lost thought of by reason of the inevitability with which the dilemma arises at the end of every chapter...

...last week boldly predicted that during the coming century "the state of activity ... of the body [will be measured by] the relative percentages of the different parts of the [electromagnetic] spectrum emitted by different parts of the body." More within the compass of everyday medical thought was another physiological complex which Dr. Crile described last week. The thyroid, he argued, is a power-house for the body; the sympathetic nervous system carries the power impulses throughout the body; the adrenal glands control the power; and the frontal lobe of the brain, seat of intelligence, is the driver.

...darkly complex, so fabulously remote from the familiar things of human existence is science's probing into the fundamental secretae of the universe-of light, electricity, gravity, matter-that the language of physicists is becoming metaphysical. Efforts to fit new discoveries to demonstrable theory, or to perform the converse, simply pile paradox on paradox. While U. S. probers have been mostly content to spin new riddles by unearthing new facts in their laboratories, European physicists have tried more & more of late, by sheer sweat of mind, to coordinate, to reconcile, to reduce the areas of conflict among observed phenomena...
