Antimatter, which has thus far been created on earth only as infinitesimal particles in giant synchrotrons, reacts violently when it comes into contact with true matter. One product of the Siberian reaction would have been a vast number of free neutrons, many of which would have joined with nitrogen atoms, turning them into radioactive carbon 14. Calculations showed that the explosion would have increased the carbon-14 content of the earth's atmosphere by about 7%. That heightened radioactivity could be expected to show up in vegetable matter a short time later...

Noah's son Japheth, played by one of Althoff's animal trainers, was using baby talk to soothe a pair of lions and Siberian tigers in their glassed-in cages. Elsewhere in the hold, zebras nipped, sheep bleated, yaks grunted and Watusi bulls bellowed. But the real test is yet to come. This week the whole zoo, accompanied by some 1,000 birds, will make its way up the gangplank, two by two. "My God," groaned Huston, "how the hell did Noah...

...sale throughout Moscow were 325,000 freshly cut Siberian fir yolki (formerly Christmas but now New Year's trees), plus another 100,000 artificial trees and 200 boxcars of tinsel, lights and colored balls. Lavishly decorated trees appeared by the hundreds in restaurants, shops, public buildings and even in the Kremlin's Tainitsky Garden. State stores advertised "everything for the New Year's tree."
