...their daughter Erie. This level the Tufts group does not provide. They fail, both in their line readings and in their movements, to convey any real feeling. Marilyn Rawlins as Mrs. Crochet fails less than the others.

Later investigation revealed that the Cromwell Current is a tremendous thing. It is 250 miles wide, at least 3,500 miles long.

Dumped into the Gulf Stream, the Swallow buoys proved that Stommel's theory was exactly right. About 8,000 feet under the famed stream is a Counter Gulf Stream carrying cold water southward at ⅓ of a knot...

One under study is a disk several hundred feet in diameter, with floats around the edge and ballast in the center. When it reaches a predetermined depth, the ballast will be detached, and the floats will pull the net upward.

At 71, Ahmed Youssef Murad-sometime Montana homesteader, World War I doughboy, Kentucky restaurant owner and elder of a mosque in Damascus-was happy. "My hadj was a gift of God," he said. "I will do it again if I live...
