...overall program for the development of space weapons. When, therefore, we see tens of billions of dollars being earmarked for such research, it is clear to us what the design is of the authors of such research and what is behind the specific policy pursued with regard to outer space. Now, when the question comes up about research, and the question of banning research, what we have in mind is not research in fundamental science. Such research concerning space is going on and it will continue. What we mean is the designing stage, when certain orders are given, contracts...

...Petersburg retirement home, the situation is happily, treacherously reversed: without looking for it, they find the Swimming Pool of Youth in a mansion next door. The place has been rented out to a quartet of folks with the musk of mystery about them. They are, of course, from outer space -- Antarea, to be exact. They have come to retrieve a score of their comrades, stranded during an earlier expedition, who have reposed in giant sea pods off the Gulf Coast and are now being rejuvenated in the waters of that miracle swimming pool where the old guys take a furtive...
