The race is now on between the technoscientific and scientific forces that are destroying the living environment and those that can be harnessed to save it. . . .

Supernatural is a dangerous and difficult word in any of its senses, looser or stricter. But to fairies it can hardly be applied, unless super is taken merely as a superlative prefix.

Suddenly overnight it blew away like dust. ↗

Why should not a writer be permitted to make use of the levers of fear, terror and horror because some feeble soul here and there finds it more than it can bear? Shall there be no strong meat at table because there happen to be some guests there whose stomachs are weak, or who have spoiled their own digestions? ↗
