Their record has been unblemished for a longer time than any of the fifties likes to think about, at least until this season's schedule of stiff races is over.

Sometimes the thing moves so slowly that you wish a good gust of wind would some around and help those engines along. Not that it isn't a hell of a lot more interesting than a History I exam. If you like good photographic shots of ships plowing into heavy scas and steel slithering on steel down below why you might even...
