Zinn, the discoverer, who looks like a happy Mephistopheles, thinks that neutrons can probably be used like X rays to examine the structure of molecules. Neutrons are light enough to be scattered by hydrogen atoms, which X rays do not detect; hence they can be used to study organic molecules, such as viruses, which mark the difference between living and inanimate matter...

Cars were still being pushed down the assembly line by hand. In fact, by ordinary production-line standards, the cars were being handmade.

For about 18 months he continued at a simmer-traipsing over to see her at her sister's house, begging her to "say something that will please me, for really I have not been pleased since I left you." But he ended the affair tepidly with a negative proposal...
