'Uranium hit the news in a big way in August 1970, when the huge deposit of uranium ore found by a woman prospector in the Northern Territory of Australia was valued at many milions of dollars.... The hope of making such a lucky strike was what kept Ross Annabell in the Northern Territory after he was fired from his job as "Editor, chief sub-editor, copy-holder, reader and chief whipping-boy of the Northern Territory News"' (from the blurb).
