Their streets were all paved with cobblestones, and each house had a white gate and was placed at least three feet from the next house. The soil rewarded the farmers' toil with rich crops; smoke poured from the chimneys of the factories all day and sometimes far into the night; stores, hospitals, and the rocket trucks ran with a maximum of efficient quiet...
