...than four. The fourth course, pass-fail, is thus likely to receive little attention from students once the first hourlies must be faced. The sorts of efforts which the need for a "passing" grade may induce need not be dwelled upon, but "little" attention may be almost synonymous with none in view of the performance meriting a failing grade at Harvard College. (In 1966-67, two hundred some E's were given, seven tenths of one percent of all grades in the College.) The pass-fail distinction is essentially meaningless for the great majority of students.

Oppenheimer-like and Teller-like scientists have a falling-out, Advise and Consent politicians undermine each other, the authenticity of the Cassiopeia message is questioned, and the powers again turn toward holocaust. The disillusioned Gaby dies, unaware that he will eventually be vindicated by none other than the Chinese Communists...
