In one of those unpredictable miracles that
sometimes occur in the midst of widespread
catastrophe, the a-bomb attack on hew york
city left the famous grand central station
comparatively unscathed. the next day it
still stood in the center of the midtown
wreckage, a symbol of the grandeur and
majesty of america, hard-hit, bloody — but
still unbowed. soviet saboteurs, though,
quickly took care of this .
