...Handy Deserts. When done properly, rocket building and flying is a fascinating scientific sport, and it is probably less dangerous than hot-rodding. In Southern California, whose handy deserts make fine, uninhabited testing grounds, the sport is highly organized, and many of the boys who build do-it-yourself rockets are planning to go into the missile business when they finish school. Some of their rockets are semiprofessional jobs with recovery parachutes and other fancy features. They are launched with proper precautions: dugouts, red flag, a countdown, all the fixings...
Bender claimed that prohibiting the use of photographs is meaningless, since all applicants are interviewed. He added that "the issue is whether the State is going to infringe upon the proper freedom of institutions to manage their own affairs within...

I'm no softie; the rod is well worn around our house...
...that science cannot now keep track of the earth's "heat balance." The incoming energy from the sun fluctuates in an unknown manner, and the amount of cloud-cover on the earth affects the percentage of solar energy that is bounced back into space.

Cecil Parker is a blusteringly good Lord Loam and Sally Howes is not only beautiful, but acts, too. The adaptation suffers somewhat from an inability to smooth out the entrances and scene changes which are an accepted part of the theater, but unsettling on the screen. The movie's ending was probably more convincing 50 years ago, but is still acceptable. The evening as a whole is quite enjoyable...
