For whether he is dealing with the half-comic, half-sad dodges and devices of the old (Love among the Old Folk) or the grisly solution of the Negro problem in a U.S. gone totalitarian (The NRACP), Elliott goes straight to the heart of each matter, in language as clear and uncompromising as his own insight...

Out of wartime radar research grew the pure materials that later enabled William Shockley to develop the transistor. From the U.S.'s atomic bomb program came the cheap and plentiful radioactive tracers that have since transformed chemistry, biology...
