...camp and hike. The serene surroundings belie the research being conducted at these sites. At Fort Detrick, diseases are developed in laboratories with long stainless-steel and sealed-glass cabinets, many bearing stenciled nicknames like "African Queen" and "Tribulation Row." Fertilized eggs enter the labs in compartmented trays and move through the cabinets on conveyor belts. As they pass, the eggs are infected by lab technicians working through the cabinet walls with heavy rubber gloves and hypodermic needles. Sample eggs are then candled to determine whether the agent is properly infecting the embryos. After a brief stay in incubators...

The phase began when the nation's commercial banks raised their minimum interest charge for loans from 71% to an unprecedented 81% - a move that was widely interpreted as a portent of a serious credit crisis. The next day, the Government's top economic policymakers managed to sound downright alarmist as they made a rare joint appearance at a Washington press conference to plead for an extension of the 10% surtax on personal and corporate incomes. That tax, which is due to expire June...
...Virgil Barren's bank). Still, mysteriously and unfairly, his normal existence seems filled with threats. Waiters "take advantage of people every chance they get." Negroes unreasonably wish to be regarded as fellow human beings. Jews violate standards of business practice and profit anyway; they also try to move into one's neighborhood...
