...deadly mainstream of protons arrives-to dock with the orbiting command module (whose walls provide protection equal to one-fifth of an inch of lead, more than enough to withstand any anticipated solar outburst). The art of solar forecasting is still so primitive, however, that many flare alerts could turn out to be false alarms...
...teacher, Nabokov was provocative, tough, highhanded. At Wellesley, anxious to get off on a June butterfly hunt, he startled the registrar's office by wanting to turn in his grades before the final exam.

Alternating terror with false promises, the Austrians turn innocent men against each other. Betrayal becomes the order of the day; dignity and honor are exchanged for the reprieve that never comes...
