...thought not. Detouring along Alaska's northern coast to avoid clogged-up ice, Nautilus surfaced for the first time since Pearl Harbor to get a sure fix on a DEW-line radar station, then headed down again into the fantastic beneath-the-sea new world of mountains and deeps that is the nuclear submarine's true element. Its course: along the Barrow Sea Valley, a deep underwater canyon that leads and widens out from Alaska's Point Barrow into the 12,000-ft.-deep Arctic Sea basin...
...demise of hardfisted, desperately needed labor legislation. In another part of the capital, Arkansas' John McClellan and his Senate investigating subcommittee continued to document graft, corruption and outright racketeering that led repeatedly to the nation's biggest unions, e.g., the powerful Teamsters, whose boss Jimmy Hoffa is deep in a plan to organize all U.S. transportation. In the face of such evidence there was plenty of blame to dodge as the Senate-passed Kennedy-Ives bill was entombed, apparently for all time, in the House Labor Committee...
Schulman took on a difficult task here, but managed to avoid most of the pitfalls that would have doomed a lesser writer. This is not a thesis play; nor is it a deep one.

Brown began boring in, bloodied Lane's face in the 9th round, knocked his mouthpiece out in the 10th, made use of his six-inch advantage in reach to power hard rights deep into the challenger's stomach. By the 15th round, Lane was out on his feet, and Brown won a close but unanimous decision. The undisputed king of the lightweights went home to his wife and four children in Baton Rouge, forgotten no more...
Atop their near-volcano, Magma Power and Thermal Power drilled four steam wells, using ordinary oil-well drilling equipment. The wells are 500 to 700 ft. deep, and the temperature -of the rock at bottom is about 600° F. When the wells are capped, steam pressure measures 300 to 400 Ibs. per sq. in., but when the steam flows, pressure drops to 100 Ibs. and temperature...
