...thriving business to Wagons-Lits, the Brussels-based sleeping-car company that ran the Orient Express. After Germany invaded Belgium during World War II, Cook's assets in Britain became enemy property.

Reluctant to waste even the squeal of this chemical pig, McDonnell Doug las engineers are working on spacecraft thrusters that can be powered with the methane byproduct of the process...

Reduced gravity over so long a period of time, space scientists fear, may produce effects that did not emerge during the relatively short manned space flights made to date...
