...toys that pose "electrical, mechanical or thermal" hazards to youngsters. Now the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare will be able to banish from the market such presently available items as a blowgun that allows the darts to be inhaled, a soldering set that exposes a child to molten lead, a tot-sized cookstove generating heat up to 600"', an electric iron with inadequate grounding, a catapult device launching a bird with a sharp beak, and furry animals whose ears attach by long metal pins...
...from the economic depression of the late 1930s through the gathering moral and spiritual depression of the affluent postwar years. The book ends in the fire and blood of Detroit's 1967 summer riot. On the surface, the book is hard, cold and terrifying.

The result is Urban Gothic, a type of naturalism saved from the simple cataloguing of disasters by the author's ability to transform the mysteries of experience into vital characterizations...
This glass was probably formed from meteor impacts that splattered molten rock across huge distances, Frondel said. These impacts may also send shock waves comparable to those from an atom bomb blast through the lunar soil, melting some particles into a glass...
...first phase of the rock analysis neared completion in Houston's Lunar Receiving Lab, it was Urey's young critics who seemed to have been wrong. Though they were correct in saying that the samples gathered up in the Sea of Tranquillity had once been molten rock, they appear to have been far off the mark in estimating their age. The rocks were not several hundred million years old, as many geologists had speculated, but at least 3.1 billion years...
...Earth. Though the Lunar Receiving Lab's examination will continue until the rocks are released from quarantine this month, it has not yet answered any of the basic questions about the moon's origin. But if the moon is actually proved never to have had a molten interior (the maria melting could have been caused by meteor impacts), scientists would be hard put to sustain one of the theories of the moon's creation: that it was torn, cataclysmically, from a hot earth. On the other hand, a cold moon does not upset either...
