...neighbor until the freight cars of ill-fated Jews rumble past and the calling and weeping of human voices is carried on the wind until it fades into the distance, "leaving behind it that same serene sky, that store of blue that bewildered birds and dying men can never exhaust...
...surprise. At the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, N.J., Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer (posing for Eisie for the sixth time) wrote in the memento book a quotation in Greek from Pindar's Third Pythian Ode: "Dear Soul, do not pursue with too much zeal immortal life, but first exhaust the practical mechanics of living."

Art and religion...
...when he ran for Attorney General of New York State in 1954 but now hopes for a comeback, could well worry about the political effects of the Galindez case.

When a passive model is being tested, the air in the tunnel is sent around a circuit and used repeatedly, but jet engines or ram-jets poison the air with their exhaust gases. New air must be taken from the atmosphere, and its excess moisture eliminated. So the tunnel is provided with a monstrous air dryer stocked with 1,890 tons of activated alumina, which soaks up 1.5 tons (ten bathtubs) of water per minute. On a muggy day the alumina has to be dried out after two hours, and this takes enough gas burners to keep the whole city...
...what about energy? Some authorities believe that a world population of 3 billion living at the "American level" would exhaust accessible deposits of fossil fuel in 23 years. Atomic energy, however, is inexhaustible. After all rich uranium ores are gone, the same granite that is processed for metals will supply uranium and thorium for atomic energy. Each ton of average granite contains as much energy as 50 tons of coal...
