...Lexington's bombers were assigned a "constructive" radius of 300 mi. beyond which they were supposed to be unable to return alive to their carrier. Besides gun power, the Blue defenders relied on their destroyers and submarines (of which the Blacks had none lest real underwater collisions occur) to spot the "enemy's" advance at any point along a 1,500-mi. coast line. About 39,000 officers & men, divided among 212 ships, 236 planes, were to be engaged...
...flows by separate drops (two to three seconds apart) into the substance to be analyzed. The current which flows through the system increases steadily by definite increments. Substances react in a regular way to the current. By means of a mirror galvanometer, the polarograph marks a chart when reactions occur. Professor Heyrovsky & colleagues have prepared scores of polarograph charts. Every user of a polarograph furnishes charts of more substances. By comparing the chart of an unknown substance with available polarograph records, the investigator soon solves his analysis problem...
Only one field remains in which the Society can serve any real purpose. The occasional House exhibitions provide some stimulus to creative art in the College and to collecting, but there is need of more unity. It is doubtful in the present state of lassitude whether this will occur, but unless the Society for Contemporary Art takes on a new lease of life, it is difficult to justify its existence except as a vent for the executive urge of its officers...

The characterization strikes one as incomplete and unreal for that very reason. Since the hero, Theodore Bulpington, occupies the centre of the stage to the exclusion of other complete and living characters, the novel contains little that is less shadowy than the main caricature...
