Science Fiction in the News Articles
Related to material in Ring Around the Sun
by Clifford Simak

"Something was going on, the shabby and dignified old man said warningty. And something was, indeed— a whole series of great benefits that had the world with its back pinned to the wall!"

('Ring Around the Sun' by Clifford Simak)
