...area, thought differently; he believed that oxidation of the outcrops had leached away their uranium content, but that underneath there lay a treasure trove of uranium ore. Joubin told Joe Hirshhorn his theory, and Hirshhorn agreed, with associates, to put up $30,000 in 1953 to take core samples in the area. The cores proved Joubin right. The uranium deposit lay in a body extending 30 miles northward to Quirke Lake (see map). But since the discovery lay close to Canada's well-traveled Highway 17, and to the tracks of the Canadian Pacific, Hirshhorn would have to stake...
Beneath the calm on Formosa and the studied casualness on the Helena was the knowledge that the land and the ship and the fleet lay in the core of a diplomatic tornado that was swirling around the world. Two hundred and fifty miles away, the mangled bodies of Chinese Nationalists killed in the Communist Chinese attack on the islet of Yikiang were tossed ashore by the turbulent waters of the East China Sea. There was little calm, outward or inward, in Washington or in London or in the United Nations headquarters at New York. In the world's capitals...

A mild disturbance before the Yale game was the only bright spot, but most of the noise and spirit came from a hard core of beer-drinking Elis. Oldtimers sadly remarked that the days of Pogo riots will become legendary when the class of 1955 graduates, and Harvard apathy will even extend to riot-making...
...runs, the Nautilus behaved as well as Rickover and his associates hoped it would. Afterwards an officer confidently reported: "Hell, we could have gone to Europe and back without coming up." The Nautilus is powered by steam turbines. The heat comes from a nuclear reactor with a small uranium core. The Nautilus can outrun any other sub (an estimated 28 knots) and dive deeper than any other (beyond 500 feet). Armed with torpedoes (she can also carry atomic missiles), the Nautilus is scheduled to enter active service with the Atlantic Fleet in just six weeks...
Dave Harper from the Evanston High team which was twice Illinois State Swimming Champion, swims the 200-yard free-style in 2:16, though he only swam back or breast stroke in high school. The two Exeter swimmers who round out the team core are Cy Hamlin with a 56.1 for the 100-yard free-style and Dave Falk, with a 1:10.3 for the 100-yard breast stroke. Falk is a brother of varsity swimmer Stgo Falk...
