...with 16 nuclear-tipped, 1,200-mile-range Polaris missiles, ready to prowl the globe as an undersea missile-launching platform. She is the first of a projected nine Polaris subs that will give the U.S. a new order of strategic capability against the Soviet Union. "Under this stout hull," said Dr. George Kistiakowsky, President Eisenhower's chief scientific adviser, "there are now hidden-or will soon be-the most advanced and diverse products of our technology; turbine and rocket propulsion, nuclear power and nuclear weapons, electronics ... It is a breathtaking microcosm of American technology." Blue & Gold...
...encouraging kick from Chief of Naval Operations Arleigh Burke. Said Burke to Rear Admiral William Raborn Jr., officer in charge: "Tell me what you have done, not what you are going to do." Raborn cut years off the schedule (original target date: 1963), partly by starting in on a hull that was already in construction (the first Skipjack). The parallel program for the development of the Polaris solid-fuel missile cranked up more speed. Raborn poured new money into every bottleneck-ing delay, kept his promise that he would have the first ship in commission by late 1959; he made...
...hockey's brightest new star is a baby-faced youngster with blond curly hair: 20-year-old Bobby Hull of the Chicago Black Hawks. His fullback's legs let him flash to a halt in a swirl of shaved ice, start again in a burst of speed that may well be the most explosive in the National Hockey League.

...Toronto's defenses to score three goals in his team's 7-4 victory, the kid from Chicago started this week tied for the lead in league scoring with none other than Montreal's Jean Beliveau (19 goals, 21 assists v. 20 goals, 20 assists). Although Hull is playing his first season at left wing and only his third in the N.H.L., Toronto Coach Punch Imlach rates him second only to Beliveau, and Chicago fans are already hoping that some day their young star will lead the team to its initial first-place finish...
...cement-plant foreman and Canadian-born-like nearly every other player in the N.H.L.-Hull first handled a stick at the age of four back in Point Anne, Ont. By the time he was 14, he looked so good just playing junior-league hockey in Belleville, Ont. that he caught the eye of a touring Black Hawk scout, who reserved the likely prospect for Chicago by signing him to an option contract for a bonus so small that he now says: "I'm ashamed to mention it." Pro hockey is one of the toughest of all sports, but Hull...
