Also present: a wronged War hero, a guileless moth, a seasoned misconductress. Who daggered the super-sheik...

They resisted heat as well as electro-corrosion* and acids. They would be found valuable when applied to milled utensils (golf clubs, surgical instruments) that have now to be made of intractable alloys to render them long-wearing and stainless...
