...Oxford Philosopher-Physicist Lord Cherwell (rhymes with "Ah well"), a 65-year-old teetotaler and vegetarian who, as Professor Lindemann, was Churchill's wartime scientific adviser, moved into No. 11 Downing Street, next door to Churchill, as Paymaster-General. His real assignment: to speed up Britain's lagging atomic energy program, and get a British-produced bomb ready for testing within six months...
Krick's method uses coke-burning generators which send silver-iodide particles skyward to increase precipitation. His theories of weather forecasting and rainmaking have been opposed by the U.S. Weather Bureau, Physicist Irving Langmuir, who started cloud seeding, and many another scientist...

They brought climbing ladders, cement to secure loose rock in the side of the chimney, and a windlass to lower the explorers into the unknown. Expedition Chief Max Cosyns, a Belgian nuclear physicist who goes after spelunking records on the side, estimated the chimney's depth by timing the echo from rocks that ricocheted off the limestone walls. The explorers were looking for a drop of about 350 meters...

They brought the hair from a known arsenic victim to "Zoé," the atomic pile at Châtillon. For eight days they bombarded the hair in the pile's neutron flux. Then, when the elements...
