Once the reels of saltwater drag racing are out of the way (PT 109 wins the race, but smashes into the dock when Cowboy Kennedy slams the engines into reverse at high speed and conks them out), the film takes on a measure of verve and dash. Best scene is the nighttime patrol when, running without lights, Kennedy's PT suddenly comes under the prow of a blacked-out Japanese destroyer and PT 109's plywood hull is sliced through like an orange crate. There is a moment of silence, then a crackling as the sea becomes molten...
...Russians, of course, had earlier managed a tandem space shot, with two men. This time, though, the expectation was that they would try to "dock" the two capsules together aloft, thus possibly permitting one of the pair of cosmonauts to transfer into the spacecraft of the other. Even if this extra twist does not come off, the duo flight once again proves that Russia is at least two years ahead of the U.S. in space, and moreover, knows how to woo the world's females.

The mood of the U.S. labor movement seems to have changed too, and the result has been the best...
Neither of the men who glared at each other across the prisoner's dock in a crowded Moscow courtroom looked very much like a spy. Dapper Greville Maynard Wynne, 44, was a salesman who lived quietly in London's fashionable Chelsea section with his wife and young son when he was not on the road selling electrical machinery in Russia and Eastern Europe. Slender Oleg Penkovsky, 44, was a much-decorated Russian war hero who recently had held the delicate job of arranging East-West scientific exchanges for a Soviet state committee. But last week the incongruous pair...
