...grateful for the lucid account of the taking of the Pueblo [Feb. 2], an account that we cannot read without feelings of shame. What is happening in our Navy, which once responded so manfully to the command, "Pipe all hands to repel boarders"? If the captain of the Pueblo was instructed never to use his machine guns, something is wrong with our leadership. Time and again military units of the U.S. have been insulted or knocked about because a cold-war enemy shrewdly guessed that the unit would suffer such treatment...
...uses the child as a kind of ventriloquist's dummy through which to josh, mimic and needle his wife and the world. In a performance of sustained pyrotechnics, Finney does petrifyingly funny parodies of a Viennese neurologist who first assessed Joe's brain damage and of a pipe-sucking Anglican clergyman who is quite unstrung to hear God described as "a manic-depressive rugby footballer."

When in full swing, Inco will be producing no less than 25% of the free world's nickel which will be drawn from three Thompson mines named Pipe, Birchtree and Soab. Interestingly, the Soab lode rests partly under a lake with the same name. Two geologists, sent out after World War II by the Canadian government to map and name western lakes, had trouble getting their seaplane airborne from that one. In angry retaliation they called the offending body...
