...this three more major characters (Joan Crawford, Brian Aherne, Martha Hyer), three other office romances, a script loaded with schoolgirl sophistication and half-aphorisms ("Old is when you know all the answers." "No, old is when you don't even bother to ask the question"), and an understandably bored performance by an old Hollywood pro, Director Jean Negulesco. The result is just about the dullest retelling of the old cautionary tale since Bertha, the Sewing-Machine Girl...
...company a word-of-mouth circulation far beyond the cost of the ad. They pushed California's Paul Masson brandy by poking fun at bourbon ("Kentucky is a great place for breeding horses") and vodka ("If you can't see it, taste it, or smell it, why bother?''), helped their client boost champagne and brandy sales 46% in two years...
Last week he was busy filling orders for 15 ore carriers, bulk carriers, tankers and escort vessels for U.S. companies and the German navy. His ultramodern yard sends ships down the ways so fast that Schlieker does not even bother to take down tents and grandstands used for launching ceremonies.

Overseeing all is an electronic brain named "Big Brother" that tells Schlieker which machines have not worked at full capacity and why. From...

We can get right down to the fine points, like which drinks, dances and music we prefer...
...fierce radiation in the reactor appeared to bother the bacteria hardly at all. When the reactor was shut down but still highly radioactive, they multiplied fast. Even when it was running full blast, they held their own. Since they normally divide every 20 minutes or so, this meant that radiation was killing only about as many as managed to live and divide. Just how much radiation the Pseudomonas got is hard to estimate, because the water circulates at varying distances from the core of the reactor, but Dr. Fowler thinks they may have absorbed more than 10 million rep (roentgen...
