Stalking the elusive current patterns of the Gulf Stream and mapping the bottom of the Atlantic, the Atlantis has made voyages totalling almost a million miles, which when mapped on a chart look, like a huge spiderweb across the ocean with its focus at Woods Hole. Assisted by the Caryn, a ninety-seven foot ketch that goes on the shorter cruises, the boats often spend 250 days each year...
With the breakup of the Berlin Conference and renewed proof of Russia's implacable hold on East Germany, the focus of uncertainty in Europe shifted back to Paris-and to the familiar, nagging question: What will the French do about EDC, the European army project? Before leaving Berlin, Foreign Minister Georges Bidault told Secretary Dulles that he hoped to see the legislative gears turning by mid-March and that he hoped for ratification of EDC by mid-April.

His chivalrous life was sprinkled with palace romances that would be cover stories in every contemporary magazine from Focus to Dare. In Knights of the Round Table, the movie version of the tale, MGM has all but smothered the knight's rakish inclinations. True, he remains the "champion" to Queen Guinevere, but in the book the word seems to have a greater breadth of meaning...
