...imports from Spain, whose 2,400-year-old Almaden mine, the world's richest, was first worked by invading Phoenicians. Both U.S. and world demand are growing faster than production, partly because of mercury's increasing use as a catalyst in the making of chlorine and caustic soda for the expanding chemical, paper and plastics industries. A corrosive poison in some forms (mercury bichloride), a therapeutic salve in others (mercury ammonium chloride), fickle mercury also goes in hefty quantities into such disparate products as dental fillings and dry-cell batteries, antibarnacle paint and electrical control apparatus.

While he was out, the boys built a precariously high stack of soda bottles in the entrance of the room. The boy returned, his hand gliding against the wall for guidance; he crashed into the bottles and woke up everyone in the dorm...
