Eric Bennett is a four-year-old who lives in a predominantly Negro housing project in Detroit. His mother supports four sons on $198 a month in alimony and relief.

...during World War II, there was no such thing as nuclear technology. Starting with only a few scientific guidelines, the physicists had to create new instruments, materials, processes, even a new element: plutonium. They had to write new reference books in a new technical jargon. Their basic raw material, uranium, was a chemical curiosity. To get it in carload lots, they needed a new mining industry with a novel and tricky technology...
