Planck's constant, h, is equal to .00000000000000000000000000655 erg-seconds. For any sort of light the energy multiplied by the period of vibration is always equal to h. To a physicist grouping within the atom, h and the quantum mechanics which have grown up around it are as important as bait, hook & line to a fisherman...

The class members were dressed in orange coats, white trousers, and bright overseas caps...

Her bouquet was a small bunch of lilies of the valley. Sober Crown Prince Frederick wore the blue-black uniform of a Danish naval officer with a blue sash. To the chancel rail came lantern-jawed Archbishop Erling Eidem, and after him the Princess repeated...
