...trunk and the rear seat and pushed the key up into it. Miller took it, and triumphantly opened the trunk door. As she backed out, he seized one of her wrists and whirled her around. Mrs. Krone-who had found her husband's 22-caliber Smith & Wesson target pistol and a box of cartridges in the trunk, and had carefully slipped six cartridges into the cylinder during the wild ride-fired three times. One bullet missed. One hit her attacker in the hip. One passed directly through his heart. He staggered, gasped and dropped dead at her feet...
This is in striking contrast to the pre-World War II R.O.T.C., which (as of 1939-40) had only 90,000 members. Although in the '20s and '30s it was a favorite target of left-wingers and pacifists, R.O.T.C. did turn out a lot of highly useful officers (when World War II broke out, the Army was able quickly to call 58,000 R.O.T.C. graduates from civilian life).

Last February he trained his sights on a new target: S.M.U. itself...
...Fusion" of light elements, on which the hydrogen bomb depends, is the senior source of nuclear energy. More than 20 years ago, at Cambridge University, Physicists John D. Cockcroft and Ernest T. S. Walton shot hydrogen nuclei (protons) from a primitive high-voltage machine at a lithium target. A few of the protons hit lithium nuclei. The product of each such reaction: two atoms of helium and 17.3 million electron-volts of energy...
