Super Magnets. EMS 1 is the brainchild of Westinghouse Mechanical Engineer Stewart Way, a specialist in magnetohydrodynamics. As far back as 1958, he recalls, "I had a hankering to develop an electrical submarine without propellers or jets." But in those days there was one insurmountable problem: to develop a magnetic field strong enough to propel a full-size sub, Way calculated, would require a conventional magnet weighing 500,000 tons-almost 80 times as heavy as an entire Polaris submarine.

The characters embodying the characteristics of Gideon's three lost loves, together with an inordinate consumption of champagne and brandy, propel him into a stream of conscious fantasy where he meets, examines, and relives the experiences which have left him in his present disillusioned state...
...really terrifying potential of the Reagan campaign is that he may somehow be able to shift California's already unstable voting alignments and actually win the governorship. This would not only propel and appealing right-winger into the ranks of presidential candidates; it would also be a grim portent for the rest of the nation from its most American state
