THE VANISHING LITERATURE
"By 1960, it was as if none of them had ever even thought of it." Priced.
The whole 1952-61 electrogravitics conversation: 30 documents, drawn as dated
the peak is 1955, not 1956 · 73.9% of it is one London newsletter
the ONR verdict predates the boom by 38 months · the patents print to 1970
confirmed secrecy ends in an explosion; this curve, 68 years on, has none
tap the squares · run the controls · switch the scope

READING
Whether the silence is a closed door or an ebbed tide
two verdicts at equal size · the bench prices; it does not vote
