...filming proceeded last week in the Florida Keys on Warner Brothers' PT 109, Navy landing craft maneuvered around Munson Key and 20-mm. U.S.N. ammunition pah-pah-pahed in the air. But Warner Brothers was paying for all the ammo and all the fuel for the ships. Moreover, where they once might have dragged old PT boats out of mothballs, the Navy refused. No PTs are on active service, so Warner Brothers had to build...
...coal that this would require each year is probably beyond the capacity of the nationalized British coal mines, and the 1956 Suez crisis indelibly etched on Britain's consciousness the risks and expense of relying on imported oil. To reduce to a minimum their dependence on imported fuel, the British hope by the 1970s to make atomic reactors second only to coal as a power source in Britain...
...cost of atomic electricity down to competitive levels; the power produced at Bradwell and Berkeley still costs substantially more than electricity generated with coal. But some time between 1970 and 1973, when the construction costs of the nuclear plants are finally paid off, the longer life of atomic fuel should even things up. This ten-year wait for a payoff does not worry the British...
Even while the heart is being asked to overexert, carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke combines with red blood cells and decreases their capacity to carry oxygen. As a result, the hard-working heart muscle is given less fuel to do its job. At the same time, tobacco's nicotine causes a constriction of small arteries in the extremities and speeds up the heart, increasing its need for oxygen and complicating the coronary problem...
...devices almost always explode as planned, the malfunction was probably in the Thor rocket on which the bomb was riding. Until other scapegoats are available, critics can blame 1) the haste with which rocket-launching equipment was thrown together on remote Johnston Island; 2) failure to use reliable solid-fuel rockets (Polaris or Minuteman) instead of the obsolescent Thor, which burns notoriously troublesome liquid oxygen...
