...surgeons made a shallow pan in its place, using a metal strip as border and the dura mater (the brain's parchment-like covering) as the bottom. This they filled with salt solution from which all gas had been removed (ultrasound is transmitted best through a liquid medium...

...stories are far more effective, and they vibrate with the fragile melancholy of tinkling temple bells. A Hindu youth claims his veiled bride, and in the first flush of passion feels a hot tear on his hand as the girl trembles beside him, fearful and liquid-eyed as a doe he once killed. A simple, doting peasant couple lose their only son to the mysterious war of the white men's raj and begin to lose their health, sanity and land as well. Then they are told to apply for equally mysterious pension checks, thus making their...

...important for keeping down the rocket's size and frontal area. Ease of ignition is almost a must. The best combinations are "hypergolic," igniting spontaneously as soon as mixed. Bad qualities to be avoided are toxicity, corrosiveness, heat instability (exploding when hot) and a tendency to evaporate like liquid oxygen. No fuel is perfect. Beryllium compounds might be good if beryllium were not so scarce and so poisonous...

Solids to the Fore. To be used in liquid-fueled rockets, both fuel and oxydizer must be liquid and thin enough to be pumped rapidly. This rules out promising materials, e.g., boron itself and many of its compounds, that are not liquid at ordinary temperatures. One way around this difficulty is to grind them finely and mix them with a liquid carrier to form a paintlike slurry. The most radical way is to burn them as solids with a solid oxydizer. Through this technique, a long list of new high-energy materials can be used...
