In Western, residents play the genteel old colonial game of lawn bowling; in American, they converge on a twelve-lane bowling alley. And in Western, the roads are lined with pigs, while...
...have achieved nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, at room temperature. Because the experiment produced much more energy than it consumed, said the chemists, it could lead to the development of an almost limitless power source.
