We're designing the Eastwick project [2,500 acres, 12,000 units, in southwestern Philadelphia] the same way. We hope that no more than 10% of Eastwick will be Negro.

The explanation satisfies Dr. Wagner and he packs the Mark V Computer off to Tibet with two technicians, George and Chuck. As "electromatic" typewriters tap out the giant brain's findings, George and Chuck begin to have qualms.
