I should start a "rejected superweapon ideas" thread, one of these days. You write that like a robot-controlled atomic-powered flying bomber made of a radioactive alloy flying a low altitude circuit around the Soviet Union dispensing nuclear bombs on lower-priority targets before ending its career in a kamikaze dive on the last objective is somehow crazy.
But with two pregnancies well-advanced in the back yard, I have to wonder just how much more the old town will be painted, at least from these quarters, next year. More usefully, there are recommendations on reheat treatment.
Factories must better organise workflows, and provide ample refrigeration space. We have an electric icebox now. It is quite nice, and our housekeeper frequently announcers her parents' intention of buying one after the war. Yeah, I don't think so. I suspect the next bit, about frozen, ready-to-eat dinners is a more prescient forecast of postwar American dining. What about the beef shortage? Currently, we have 38 million head. This is up from the s, but in we had 45 million head to a population of 62 million.
Also down, lamb crop, mainly for lack of good shepherds. People in the West, Janeway hastens to add, think of the Negroes as our own India, an obstacle in the way of prestige in Asia.
