Weather will determine what I am doing when this show airs — ironically enough, considering that a key advantage of atomic power over other zero–emissions energy sources is that it is not much influenced by the weather. If the skies are clear, I will be in Haltom City, as I said last week. And I missed my chance to pre–record a show.

There is some fascinating material in it, including a description of an absolutely hair–raising bit of messing around with uranium in a metallurgical laboratory (not the Metallurgical Laboratory). Unfortunately, although the printing job is professional–looking, something awful seems to have happened in the galley stage, as more than once entire lines of text have disappeared.
