     any piece of machinery, was the real and major
     result of the Industrial Revolution - had been

     German long-range rocket program and the death
     camps, such as Auschwitz.It has taken no major
     gift of prophecy to see how these three curves
      of development might plausibly converge, and
                before too long. ... "
