...console themselves, the rejected suitors organize the first surrealistic camping trip in world history; and before the trip is finished, sober old Vermont turns into a landscape by Salvador Dali. First off, the boys light up a 12-ft. stack of logs-to boil a can of soup. Then they go jeeping across an open field in pursuit of a terrified farmer-whom they try to lasso. And all the while they recollect in flashback the crazy things they did while they were courting-like, say, the time Leo peeled a banana, slipped it in the breast pocket of Jack...
...ESTABLISHMENT. Nothing is sacrosanct to this sextet of deceptively urbane Britons except their right to boil big names and bigger isms in a cauldron of laughter...
...week's end the council secretariat announced that the third session would meet from Sept. 14 to Nov. 20 next year. Until then, the twelve council commissions will revise and boil down the remaining undiscussed schemata preparatory to final passage. How successfully these revisions will reflect the tone expected by the majority is problematical. Barring a last-minute change of heart by Pope Paul, the revisions will still be supervised by Curia cardinals. A case in point is the chapter favoring religious liberty, which was composed in part by U.S. Jesuit John Courtney Murray. In response to considerable pressure...
...early as 1909, U.S. Rocket Pioneer Robert Goddard noted that hydrogen (in liquid form, known as LH.,) might prove to be the optimum chemical rocket fuel. Its light molecular weight, less than half that of standard liquid fuels, gives it 35% more thrust per pound. But LH2 begins to boil above -423 °F., and because it is so cold, engineers usually find it too hot to handle. Most metals shiver to pieces when they come in contact with it, and its extreme volatility makes it flash into explosive gas at the gentlest slosh...
...diocese is said to be on the boil," says the Rt. Rev. Mervyn Stockwood, Bishop of Southwark. "If that is so, I accept it as a compliment. Boiling water is better than tepid. It can cleanse and generate power." Measured against British coolness to the Anglican faith (of 27 million baptized members, only 3,000,000 are registered on parish rolls), the Diocese of Southwark is indeed bubbling. And Bishop Stockwood, 50, a charming and worldly man in whom humility coexists with vanity, gives it another stir almost daily. In the process, he has become perhaps the most storied bishop...
