...Atlantic for her first series of test dives-all shallow. She performed perfectly, and at 9 p.m. Tuesday headed for deep water 220 miles off Cape Cod. Next morning, with Skylark bobbing above and maintaining constant contact with sonar and telephone, Thresher glided through a set of medium-depth dives. Her skipper, Lieut. Commander John Wesley Harvey, 35, decided that she was ready for the maximum test. None of this was new to him. An Annapolis graduate (eighth in the 696-member class of '50), he logged three years and 100,000 miles aboard the nuclear submarine Nautilus...
...there the similarity ends. A medium-sized colt with a shining dark bay coat, Never Bend likes to grab an early lead and fight off challengers. Candy Spots is a strapping chestnut with curious black and white spots on his rump, who prefers to dwell in the pack, then turn on a withering burst of speed in the stretch.

There he sits, impassively watching the action or examining the toes of his size 12½ sneakers, until some Laker starter misses a few easy lay-ups or begins to pant on the way downcourt. Then Coach Fred Schaus yells, "Dick, get in there!" and Barnett unfolds his full 6 ft. 4 in. and trots onto the floor. To serve melodrama properly, he should promptly rattle...
Beck's men also revitalized Philco's computer division, which had missed out on the boom in smaller business computers; this year Philco will begin leasing its new medium-sized 4100 computer. No Philco division has profited more from Ford's takeover than Western Development Laboratories in Palo Alto, Calif., one of the nation's leading experts in telemetry and ground-to-outer-space communications, which is receiving one-third of the $40 million that Ford is currently pumping into Philco. Western Development is now expanding its laboratories, is planning to help build a middle-altitude...
