You didn't tell me that my ideas at 18 or 20 were the only possible ideas and should be forced on an administration that, after all, had only been facing the same problems for an average of 20 years.

Actually, the ads that are stuffed into the box are as entertaining as anything else. "Should we also flood the Sistine Chapel," asks the Sierra Club, fighting a dam downstream from the Grand Canyon, "so tourists can get nearer the ceiling...
...focus and power for a short distance after it squirts out of the gun barrel and into the atmosphere. In earlier experimental cutters the beam lost its power almost immediately in collisions with air molecules; the target material had to be placed inside a vacuum chamber along with the rest of the gun's components. And since the chamber's size was always limited, so was the size of the job it could handle...
