Steel is the pet industry in the U.S.S.R. as it is in any other major power. Soviet steel labor is elite labor, with an efficiency twice that of other Soviet workers. A severe drag on Russian steel production is the fact that 95% of Russia's working iron deposits lie west of the Ural's industrial complex, and 85% of its coking-coal reserves lie east of it.

Mrs. Fosby never overfed the animal ("so the poor thing would not be fat and unhappy in her old age") and reported it altogether contented. She could not explain the disappearance...
