...missile program. I am sure that not only the employees of Northrop Aircraft, Inc., but the military personnel close to the project, share my conviction that the Snark has contributed far too much to U.S. missile technology to be dismissed with a feeble witticism ["the Snark-infested waters of Cape Canaveral"].

Nonetheless, he could give uncannily accurate estimates of how long a play would run, suggesting that at least some of Shaw's precepts had stayed with him even in his sleep...
...glimpses of the birds that it puts on the wing. Some of them rise out of the atmosphere, but not all. One of them, the Snark, has had so many mishaps that the sea near the start of the range has been ruefully called the "Snark-infested waters of Cape Canaveral...
