With its remaining payload capacity of 180,000 Ibs., the nuclear dirigible could carry 400 passengers and a crew of 95. It would have staterooms with private baths, a movie theater, cocktail lounge, and a dining room seating 200. Using nuclear fuel, the goliath of the skies could cruise endlessly around the world, picking up and disembarking passengers with an 18-place shuttle plane that would have its own hangar amidships. An all-cargo version of the dirigible could fly 150 compact cars across the Atlantic in 40 hours at a cost of about $140 per vehicle...

There she sees Fashion Designer Pauline Fordham in a silver metallic coat, Starlet Sue Kingsford in a two-piece pink trouser suit with a lovely stretch of naked turn...
Room for Initiative. Gronouski, the grandson of a Polish immigrant and a former university economics professor, has turned into an effective, if somewhat unconventional, diplomat. He pumps Polish hands, kisses Polish babies, stalks the streets of Warsaw in his cocked grey astrakhan, gabs with Polish waiters at embassy cocktail parties. That casual curiosity stood Gronouski in good stead during his Eastern European swing. The first stop was Rumania, the most independent of the former Soviet satellites and the most eager for U.S. trade (TIME cover, March...
