...from the fact that on detonation it releases enormous quantities of radioactive neutrons that kill people without destroying buildings.

"I look upon this as an invasion," fumed Union Editor Gerald Warren, a sometime White House press secretary who returned to his old home from Washington 2½ years ago to take up his current post. "We're itching for the fight. Our juices are running. We're going to give them the fight of their lives." In response, the Tribune is adding ten reporters, bringing its editorial staff...
