...immune to sophisticated chemical insecticides, Williams' discovery may well provide a crucial weapon in man's interminable war with disease-carrying and crop-ruining insects. But there are problems yet to be solved. So effective are the hormones and their plant-made equivalents, that sprays or dusts containing even minute amounts will kill any insect, including those helpful to man and essential to the functions of nature. The reason that all insects are not wiped out in the Rio Negro area is that not all of them come into contact with the insecticide-laden river. Back at work...
Williams' story does contain some rib-a'd fun. "Come on, desiccated creeps," Reaney cries out in a with-it drinking club, "throw off your guilt, throw out your chests, you're English. Form up the squares, Kabul to Kandahar, Mad Mullahs, Pathans, Uhlans, Marshal Ney -stuff the lot of them, bloody foreigners, show them cold English steel."

He also prepared an emergency plan that had the virtue of simplicity: in the event of trouble, he would simply turn the city off with a hermetic round-the-clock...
Enlarging the Evidence. Walker's most proven technique is based on the fact that most rocks and minerals contain a small impurity of uranium, which fissions (splits), leaving tiny scars or tracks inside the substance. Until recently, this phenomenon remained unobserved. Walker found that even with an electron microscope the fossil tracks were too tiny-.001 of an inch long and only ten atoms wide-to see in significant numbers...
