...great secrecy by the game's racketeer bankers. The numbers on which wager-loving Brazilians gamble represent 25 different animals.

Elusive Materials. In designing nuclear reactors, Hafstad said, the scientist cannot depend on familiar, well-behaved materials. Most of them are useless. They absorb too many neutrons (and so slow down the reaction) or they are quickly damaged by corrosion, heat or radiation. The AEC is building a special reactor to test the performance of various materials for piping, shielding, etc. Until it has been in operation for some time, reactor designers will not know for certain what materials they dare...
