...postwar-built conventional submarines, three nuclear-powered hunter-killer subs, and four nuclear-powered missile submarines. "The Royal Navy," says Jane's, "has taken a cruel knock. It is hardly adequate for peacetime defense, and insufficient for war." Perhaps the cruelest knock of all was Jane's judgment that by the 1970s, if present plans are carried through, the French navy will be stronger than Britain's by a margin of two aircraft carriers and one nuclear sub. So much for the navy that William Blackstone, back in 1765, was able to call "England's greatest...
...such authority, but personal conscience has the final word." West Germany's bishops conceded that "a Catholic Christian might have serious reasons for wanting to deviate" from the Pope's teaching.

Despite Hughes' repeated setbacks in the courts, which stem in part from his refusal to take the stand in his own defense, his lawyers will probably appeal any adverse court judgment in hopes of getting a reduction or a dismissal of the damages. Until two years ago, a damage settlement would have hurt Hughes hardly at all. At that time, he still owned 78.2% of TWA and would, in effect, have been paying the assessments largely to himself. But, in a daring gamble that he would not have to pay damages, Hughes sold his TWA shares for $546.5 million...
