...reserve funds to speed seven nuclear subs now under construction, advanced operational dates by ten weeks. The Navy's eventual fleet of 18 nuclear Polaris subs (by 1964) will berth and load missiles at a new $26.5 million base seven miles above the Charleston, S.C. harbor on the Cooper River. At dedication ceremonies last week, Rear Admiral William F. ("Red") Raborn, chief of the Polaris project, looked confidently beyond the Polaris' 1,200-mile range of 1960, predicted a 1,500-mile range by 1962 and an eventual 2,500-mile nuclear reach for the Navy...

And who else can go to bed at night with the comforting assurance that the Atlantic Ocean is formed by the confluence of the Ashley and Cooper rivers-right over yonder in Charleston Harbor?

The other, carefully characterized by the doctor himself with the help of brilliant Criminal Lawyer Grant Cooper, was a frustrated loving husband. He happily shared a king-sized 7 ft. by 7 ft. double bed with his wife, he said, until he was driven into the arms of another woman by his wife's frigidity after the birth of their son in 1953. He testified volubly about his love affair with Carole, a onetime photographer's model, and the trysting apartments he rented under an assumed...
