...keep those clusters from coming too close. The sky is full of them and there doesn't seem to be room to fly through. They get closer and you hear the whisper of them as they break in close.

The co-pilot's wrist is bloody, and your shoulder feels numb. You can't go fast enough; you're crawling over that target...

Dr. Crile came to believe that unconsciousness at the time of operation was no guarantee against death-dealing shock, that injured nerves could send dangerous impulses even to an unconscious brain...
...wondered if the Beacon Street dowager next to him cared whose life was saved with her blood. Funny if it got to some bleeding Muscovite. Curiosity forced him to look down the row of tables at the prone women. He winced. Why were they all clenching their fists? Pain? But they told me . . .
