FANTASTIC VOYAGE. In this highly entertaining science-fiction adventure, five crewmates, traveling in a tiny, nuclear-powered submarine, chart a hazardous course through man's circulatory system. After several unexpected stopovers in the lung and inner ear, the microscopic crew reaches its disembarkation point: the human brain. THE WRONG BOX. Somewhere hidden among the plot machinations of this Victorian spoof is a wrong box, upon which most of the action hinges. The box is a coffin-unoccupied-although Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, John Mills and Ralph Richardson are more than anxious to find a suitable corpse to fill...
...nonsense executive with solid scientific vision. White comes to the job with a background in weather research, first with the Air Force, then as president of Travelers Research Center, Inc., and later as chief of the U.S. Weather Bureau. Most observers consider him superbly equipped to chart the new agency's $145 million budget, 14% of which is earmarked for both in-house and contracted research...
...Works. By relating itself more closely to the actual price of stocks, the Big Board's new index is frankly intended to flatten out, at least on paper, the market's daily changes (see chart).

Precarious Perch. Late in February, when the final information from Palo mares had been processed by the computers, Sandia scientists traced a square on a Spanish coastal chart and said, "Tell Alvin (the deep-diving research submarine that eventually found the bomb) to look here." Three weeks later, when the little sub finally located the missing bomb-2,500 feet below the surface, still shrouded in its parachute and perched precariously on a 70° slope-it was 1,200 yards from the final coordinates calculated in a laboratory over 5,000 miles away...
