...familiar feat, and all the others, which necessarily make up a large portion of his story, Parkinson customarily confines himself to a somewhat plodding, precis narrative. As a result, his biography may be mainly read by Hornblower scholars who wish, as it were, to set their very stuns'ls in pursuit of their elusive literary quarry. As for the rest of us, one is put in mind of the French Gourmet Brillat-Savarin, who was once offered grapes for dinner. "Non, merci" he briskly replied, "je ne prends pas mon vin en pilules...
...rocket was launched with similar expert predictions of failure. In 1940 the editor of the Scientific American wrote Willy Ley, prophet of space travel, that the notion of a rocket bomb was "too farfetched to be considered." In December 1945, even though Germany's V-ls and V-2s had already terrorized London, Dr. Vannevar Bush, head of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, said that intercontinental missiles would not be possible for a "very long period of time." The American public, he impatiently contended, should not even think about them. Only last December, Dr. Bentley Glass...

In a companion move to stanch the deposit drain, the Government raised the minimum denomination of Treasury bills from $1,000 to $10,000. Depositors have been shifting their savings from S and Ls and banks into the higher...
