...began with an accident. Some time in 1968, somewhere in the northwest Pacific, the Soviet submarine surfaced to recharge its batteries. There was an explosion, perhaps caused by a spark that ignited trapped gases in the hull Before a single member of the crew could escape, the craft plummeted to the ocean floor about three miles below. But not to an unknown grave. U.S. Navy devices picked up the stricken submarine's last throes and were able to place the wreckage within a ten-mile-square area. The Soviet navy was not so fortunate. A Soviet task force searched...

...THIS NOTION settles in my mind like a scrap of paper: I want to make all thirty miles in thirty minutes. The ungainly metal hull lurches forward, chattering like a rattlesnake, then shifting into a resonant moan. A small cloud of dust churns at my brother's feet--the pavement shows through a hole in the floor of the car--and he glares at it as though that's all that irks...

...which he sings low and slow, loses its Tin Pan Alley patriotism and becomes plaintive, full of battle fear. An old calypso tune, F.D.R. in Trinidad, is delivered with careful ingenuousness, and Cooder brightly, as if inadvertently, stresses the irony that time has worked on the lyrics: "Mr. Cordell Hull in attendance/ They took part in a peace conference/ To stop war and atrocity and make the world safe for democracy/ The greatest event in the century in the interest of suffering humanity...

...issue is that Americans and Canadians tend to rationalize losses to what they consider inferior peoples. Either the players are not in shape or the country's best players did not show up--or, as in Bobby Hull's case, were not allowed to play because of NHL-WHA politics. We collectively have to face up to the fact that if a foreign country emphasizes a sport, either by subsidizing the construction of facilities or by exalting its participants in the press and public rallies, we cannot expect to remain superior forever...

...promote the "Airfloat HL" (for heavy-lift), designed by Surrey University Mechanical Engineer Edwin Mowforth. A VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) model, it could carry a load of up to 400 tons and move it more than 1,000 miles at about 90 m.p.h. Airfloat's hull shape is conventional, and its propulsion depends upon old-fashioned propellers turned by ten turbines. Eight of them are amidships for forward drive and are also capable of exerting a vertical thrust of 40 tons. There is also one engine at each end for maneuvering, and to keep the ship from yawing...
