When George Boston went down to the sea this spring, he had a stout ship under him and a restless, lifelong dream to steer her by: he wanted to sail around the world by himself. Driven by his dream, Boston had built his ship, a 30-ft. auxiliary ketch, with his own hands on the lawn of his home in Swampscott, Mass. Two years ago, he coaxed the Fiddler's Green as far as Port Said before an attack of jaundice sent him home by freighter, his ship lashed ignobly on deck...
This long-discussed system remained largely a dream for 50 years. But last week Northrop Aircraft, Inc. recorded the results of seven years of experimentation with "low drag boundary layer control." After elaborate tests with models in wind tunnels, Northrop engineers fitted the wing "of an F94 jet fighter with a "glove" containing twelve slots running lengthwise along the wing. A suction pump driven from the main engine pulled air into the slots and pushed it out astern with the rest of the jet's gases, adding a little to the thrust. The reduction of drag was extraordinary, even...
Finished at 117?

The Kiss at Croton Falls takes a lighter view of dreams as Mrs, Mull visits companionably each night with her dead husband until he makes the mist ike of bringing a pretty redhead home with him-twice...
...Without Dreams. While giving credit to Freud as a pioneer, Rogers vigorously resists the tendency of analysts to worship the father-figure of psychoanalysis, and the parallel tendency to put the theory and the method of treatment ahead of all else, so that every patient is fitted to a Procrustean couch. Rogers may have exaggerated the differences between his method and that of other therapists who follow Freud but with modifications. Radical Rogers likes to talk about "treatment with no couches, no dream interpretations...
