...painted luminous dials and markers used to permit operating in the dark. In a completely closed ventilating system with recycled air, the radon gas emitted by such markers becomes so concentrated that it could hinder detection of an actual reactor leak. After the markers were replaced by a nonradioactive type, an appreciable radon concentration remained. It was found to come from the dials of crewmen's luminous wristwatches, but was fortunately too low to menace health...

Unpretentious about his writing so far ("a small, humble and private thing"), Wilson would like most "to describe my own Marquand-type society with Hemingway's power." With his blond, blue-eyed, Ivy League good looks, Wilson leads a quiet life in not quite Marquand-type country (Pound Ridge. N.Y.), has only one major crotchet: he does not own a gray flannel suit ("I won't have...
