...multilateral school* of 1980 will have some 3,000 pupils and there will be umpteen sides and umpteen wings in each. Its buildings will dwarf the countryside for miles around. It will have its own aerodrome and pupils will arrive by communal transport planes and even by private 'jeep' planes from all points of the compass...
...atoms with deuterons-the heavy hydrogen nuclei derived from heavy water. Individual atoms have been smashed, but in a bomb atoms must explode in quantity, each disintegrating atom setting off others. The new Nazi experiments are said to be along lines suggested by the composition of the "White Dwarf," companion of Sirius, which is the densest known star...
...White Dwarf is so dense (specific gravity: 61,000) that a cubic inch of its substance weighs about one ton. Physicists believe that ordinary atoms could not be compressed to such density, and they suppose that the tremendous pressures and high temperature of the White Dwarf have broken up its atoms, letting their space-hungry electrons escape and leaving only the much more compact atomic nuclei...
...many ways the most significant of all the United States. First, its war job, already enormous, will be vastly greater when the German war ends, and it becomes the funnel through which most of the U.S. war effort will be poured. Second, its postwar problems seem likely to dwarf those of the other 47 States, for its main efforts have been in airplane-making and shipbuilding-the two most overexpanded industries, the two which will probably be cut back the deepest when the war ends. If California can keep its millions at work when the war ends their jobs, then...
...scheme, no delay on the ground fronts can save Germany from air attack on a scale which will dwarf all that the Germans have suffered to date. Sooner or later Italy-and surrendered Corsica-will provide bases for a southern air offensive coordinated with multiplied assault from Britain. Then, under the impact of defeats and bombs, the German people may have something to say about Hitler's choice...
