...forecast severe CAT, George studies weather data in search of above-and-below air layers that are being dragged violently past each other by the jet stream. He draws on a map the area where this vertical shearing is sufficiently intense. Then he scans the data a second time to see if any air masses on the same level are moving rapidly past each other. If this is the case, he marks another area on his map (see diagram). If the areas overlap, the overlap has the two necessary kinds of violent shear. It is therefore apt to be full...

But the romance will have gone out of them . . . Ubiquitous but non-monopolistic religious associations will, I believe, be the standard type of ommunity in our Atomic Age.
