S. produced 66,674,000 net tons of steel ingots-a record. But during December the industry was working at a yearly production rate of 77,496,000 tons. Dunn figures that present U.

After shipping this comber of sentiment the story rights itself and moves ahead with almost its old blend of sinister excitement, rather brilliant writing, and psychological veracity. But the diaper sequences are not quite forgivable in an author who can produce the rest of the book...
