Such haggling never distracts the Russians from their more serious efforts to cut down Berlin's price. Economic strangulation is advancing steadily, but it is a slow process. Terror is a faster weapon. While Russian propaganda screams that U.S. forces have kidnaped 40,000 Berliners, while it warns in black newspaper headlines BERLIN IS NOT CHICAGO, the MVD proves its mastery of the arts of Capone and Beria. Warning phone calls, threatening letters, shadowing agents are merely the trivial daily nuisances that plague anti-Reds. The MVD's serious work is executed in a garish, blue-grey house...
Dreft, as advertised, washes things "far faster, far easier, far better."

...biggest cyclotron will be radically new in design. Its magnet will be a massive hollow ring with a vacuum chamber inside it. Driven by subtly timed electrical pushes, atomic particles will circle faster & faster around the chamber until their speed comes close to the speed of light. Berkeley scientists calculate that when a proton has circled around the chamber something over a million times, it will have six billion electron volts of energy...
...substances of high boiling point (metals, mineral compounds) could condense in the hot inner regions. This accounts for the high density of the inner planets. Only in the cool outer parts of the system could light compounds like ammonia and methane get together in masses. The outer "protoplanets" grew faster; they were formed from more of the compounds...
