...universe does not lie in the farthest reaches of outer space. Nor is it found in the most remote Amazonian jungle or in the inky blackness of the Mariana Trench. It is located instead in side the human skull, and consists of some 3½ pounds of pinkish-gray mate rial with the consistency of oat meal. It is, of course, the human brain...
Wells was the last of the high-level saturation prophets. His success as a futurist was based on a supreme confidence in man's worst instincts. For Wells, an atheist, theological good and evil did not exist.

A pinkish froth around the nose, he said, indicated that she "remained alive for a certain time" while the car was under water in Poucha Pond. "She breathed, that girl," Spitz said. "She wasn't dead instantaneously." Three other pathologists testified that even now an autopsy might yield explicit evidence...
