...expert in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, Chang has worked on nuclear reactors for space propulsion, plasma studies for controlled nuclear fusion reactions, and new structural techniques for aircraft. But ever since he saw an aircraft factory in Nanking destroyed by a sudden twister 35 years ago, he has been determined to unlock the secrets and tame the fury of tornadoes. His artificial storm has now given him his first hope of success...
...Division is also considering a course on fluid mechanics, and the HPC may circulate new questionnaires to test student reaction...
...varied uses of the encapsulation process seem limited only by the human imagination. Microcapsules of water have been incorporated in cigarette filters. Before a smoker lights up he pinches his cigarette, thus breaking the capsules and moistening the filter. Dry floor-scouring pads containing capsules of cleaning and polishing fluid are also being marketed. Aircraft companies are using rivets coated with microcapsules containing primer. When the rivet is forced into place, the capsules break, allowing the primer to flow over both the rivet and the adjoining metal to protect them from corrosion. Manufacturers are testing encapsulated flavors and fragrances...

Philip Heckscher, the soldier, is appropriately ingenuous but his voice often betrays uncomfortable strain. Jane Mushabac has choreographed the play. Her group dances have wit but become overly frantic when Lithgow's devil gets twitchingly carried away with himself. Mushabac gives a long puzzling, oriental dance to the Princess...
