Все это были видные, деятельные люди, важные шишки в зенитском обществе: доктор Диллинг — хирург, Чарльз Мак-Келви — подрядчик и, что неприятнее всего, седобородый полковник Резерфорд Сноу — владелец «Адвокат-таймса».
They were large, resolute, big-jawed men, and they were all high lords in the land of Zenith—Dr. Dilling the surgeon, Charles McKelvey the contractor, and, most dismaying of all, the white-bearded Colonel Rutherford Snow, owner of the Advocate-Times.
