Superficially, the book and the film tell the same story: a parson's daughter (Deborah Kerr), half in love with a charming bounder (Michael Redgrave), hires on as governess to his niece (Pamela Franklin) and nephew (Martin Stephens)-in the picture the girl seems about eight years old, the boy about ten. The children are charming and she loves them dearly, but after a few days at Ely, the vast old country house the children live in, she begins to notice prowlers about the place -first a man, then a woman, both of them surrounded by an uncanny emanation...

...Khrushchev says, the Soviet Union is still building bombers. The Soviet air force is currently introducing into service a supersonic bomber so new that NATO has not got round to assigning it a code name. A new delta-wing supersonic bomber, to which NATO recently gave the code name Bounder, appears to match the U.S.'s 6-58 Hustler; the new plane is presumed to be even more advanced. Soviet forces have been energetically improving and expanding far northern airbases from the Kola Peninsula near Scandinavia to the Chukotski Peninsula opposite Alaska. Crews of some 1,000 medium Badger...
