Like nearly everyone in the book, De Heer isn't what he seems. Neither is Paul Goldfarb, a Nobel-prizewinning physicist who fled Nazi Germany to help develop the atom bomb at Los Alamos and is now back at Potsdam. Or Donatella, a sexy Italian physicist who comes on to Andermans even as she attains fusion with Goldfarb.

Lyman, and political scientists Glyn Morgan and Cindy Skach said they used Zipcars when they needed mechanized transport. “Nearly everyone I know uses them,” Morgan says of his Cambridge neighbors. The Zipcar service allows people to rent cars quickly...
