"A hundred and eighty,' he said. 'And i was in the water at least 10 minutes. My God. i must have got three hundreds. Maybe more.' 'What does it mean?' I asked. 'It means I have radiation poisoning. very bad.'" Pg. 53
Mr loomis was working on radiation proof suits for the nuclear war. When the war broke out they didn't have enough time to manufacture enough for soldiers so he took the only one that was made in order to survive. He even killed a co - worker to keep the suit for himself. This is said on page 120 'You're a thief and a liar, Edward, but it's no use. Stand back from the door.' A pause. 'No. I warn you. I will shoot. The suit will stop radiation, but it won't stop bullets.'
"On the other side of the ridge, even on the other side of Burden Hill, their are no leaves; everything is dead" Pg 4

To my surprise he seemed extremely pleased, almost excited. "Could you?" he said. "I haven't heard music for more than a year."
"To church?" He sounded as if he could not believe. "To church?" He lay back in the bed. "How long did that take?"
