...Time for Sergeants (adapted by Ira Levin from the novel by Mac Hyman) offers a really good evening of simple-minded fun. Less a play than an episodic romp, it tells of Will Stockdale, an incorrigibly good-natured young hillbilly who is inducted into the U.S. Air Force.

...excitedly watched the dials as we went faster-down, down, down, down. Then, up; then down. Straight ahead. Full power. The speedometer needle moved rapidly clockwise, receding only as the Nautilus took sharp banks and turns . .Then, up again; then, down again; up again; down again ... I asked Admiral [Hyman] Rickover how many days the Nautilus could proceed under water at full speed. 'Indefinitely,' he answered.'Long enough to go the distance around the world, and the answer would still be indefinite. ' " Back on dry land, the Senate and the House...
