 There really isn't much to tell, " Joe began. "f am professor Of chemistry at the university, as l told you, But there were a few things l kept to myself,
 You sec, we've all been work ing on explosives since this trou- hle in Europe began, Quietly working, but getting the job done, And . lot Of Investigating has been going on.
