...wants to know how the race was run and why the winner paid so much, or so little. Other facts cannot be told until long after the event began.

...soon sure that he was on the right track. The nub of his idea was that dropsy victims were not waterlogged, but brine-logged. Edema fluid, said he, is no more fit for the body to use than sea water. Excess sodium in the body, usually in the form of its chloride (common salt), takes large amounts of water to keep it in solution. Often its demands are so great that a dropsy victim is simultaneously suffering from a shortage of water in other body functions-especially the kidneys, which are then unable to get rid of the brine...
...hydrogen bomb's necessary ingredients (a principal one, Dr. Bacher implies) is tritium, the heavy form of hydrogen with one proton and two neutrons in its nucleus. Tritium must be made in a chain-reacting pile by a reaction that costs one free neutron for every atom of tritium produced. There are plenty of free neutrons in a pile, but they originate in fissioning atoms of uranium-235 and are normally used to form plutonium (for atom bombs) out of nonfissionable U-238. Each neutron that is used to form an atom of tritium means less plutonium...
