Capturing men's imaginations round the world, and replying persuasively to Russia's Sputniks, the U.S. Navy's atomic submarine Nautilus completed a historic transpolar voyage under the vast Arctic ice pack, fulfilling in a 20th century way the centuries-old dream of a northern passage from ocean to ocean (see Armed Forces).

But the rebels seem content for the moment to keep old contracts and, in time, to negotiate (as Nuri wanted to do) for a higher share of the royalties...
