Howard,

Data _Null_ ; Run ;

is indeed a very lucid, efficient, concise, parsimonious piece of code.

You may have noticed that with the exception of <run;>, the program hardly contains any superfluous instructions. I am not sure how to improve on that. It is quite difficult to synthesize a crystal harder than diamond. Maybe if one used the material comprising neutron stars... Ask Kilo Volt, he used to measure the properties of those.
