Epstein reacted to criticism like a maddened elephant, but never let the struggle affect his art. "The man in the street," he would say, thrusting out his low er lip like a rain spout, "is a fool. And I care not a whit for his opinions." Asked his opinion of other sculptors, the big man in the long-billed baseball cap would per mit himself a little twist . of a smile : "When I want to see a great sculptor, I have to look in the mirror."

...Furthermore, it would take far higher temperatures before the deuterium fusion would produce more energy than it absorbed. Explained NRL Research Director Robert M. Page: "We have to go farther to get a true fusion reaction and farther still to prove it." Sustaining a fusion reaction, he explained, is like lighting a piece of paper with a match. First the paper turns brown, then it smokes, then it bursts into flame. "We think we have reached the stage where the deuterium is beginning to show a little brown." What Kolb and the Naval Research Laboratory need now is a bank...
