Swarming through the pile in billions of billions, these neutrons stir up a storm of unrest among the atoms of every element in it. Some are turned into atoms of different chemical elements, some into different isotopes of the same element. Nearly all are "hot," shooting out rays and energy. Every element is made radioactive...

...such, the story cannot fetch a complete response from modern, morticianed man. The circumstances lie outside his experience; it is not the reality, it is only the intensity of Antigone's emotions that can stir him.

Murder, rape and sudden death scarcely stir the branches of this moss-hung family tree. Only uncultured Huey Long's drooling henchman is really outraged by the discovery that the heir to Belle Heloise is not his father's son, but his father's sister's bastard. Even stern Madame Mere accommodates herself wisely to the marriage of her daughter to the son of The River Road's "Dago peddler" (who becomes a millionaire purveyor of fancy groceries), and her granddaughter's marriage to the pilot of a river tug. For under the conventions...
