As a result, funeral directors enclosed corpses in waste papyrus manuscripts coated with plaster and molded to a shape vaguely reminiscent of a human body...
...products to market before someone else has duplicated them-or produced better ones. The whole new space-military complex is devoted to the idea of constant change and advance. Scientists have discovered so many basic new ways of doing and making things that one bright scientist in a lab can sometimes render obsolete the basis of a whole industry. Many companies, particularly those that have long concentrated on a few products, find it increasingly hard to come up with the management know-how and the funds to finance the advanced research needed just to keep...

...Cleanest Lab. Though test explosions in distant space would be both difficult and expensive, scientists say they have extremely important advantages. "Outer space," says Dr. Richard F. Taschek, head of Los Alamos' Physics Division, "is probably the cleanest possible laboratory for testing bombs." There is no matter around to falsify results, and all effects of an explosion can be measured with great uniformity...
