...stood on the conning tower with Skipper Casler, a fellow Missourian, while the U-2513 headed for open sea, beyond the southernmost limits of the U.S. Then, as the boat was rigged for diving, Harry Truman went below to the control room. Elevators depressed, the streamlined hull slid gently beneath the blue waters. The depth indicator showed that the President was going deeper than any of his predecessors*-200 feet, 300, 400 and finally 440. The U-boat could have gone deeper, but that was as far as the Navy wanted to take its Commander in Chief...
These are only surface defects. Beneath them are other faults far more important. The poll, as written, and interpreted by the Crimson, was guilty of gross misrepresentation. No one who has seriously studied the problem of Council membership has proposed a continuation of complete class representation, yet the Crimson included it as a major alternative on their poll. The Constitutional Committee from the very first agreed that the old proportion of appointed and elected representatives is unbalanced, yet the Crimson also threw this in.

Roads and airport runways, absorbing summer sun, get as squashy as cranberry bogs. In winter, the warmth of a heated building may seep into the permafrost, allowing floors to sink and walls to wobble drunkenly. Many Alaskan villages, built in defiance of permafrost, look...
...Madison, making his second appearance on the silver screen in "Till the End of Time," makes great use of the same three qualities that have already endeared him to the bobbysox brigade: a great shock of blond hair, a habit of grinning upward from beneath the shock, and his sensible decision not to complicate his art with the unmanly, finer points of acting. Dorothy McGuire, who is east as Pat, Guy's galfriend, although female and fetching, apparently can't get used to the thought of not being Clandia and has trouble groping her misty-eyed way through this picture...
