After spending twelve years convincing the record-buying public that two ears are better than one, high-fidelity manufacturers have now embarked on a drive to prove that four ears are twice as good-at least.

Even as the 1,005-ft. ship rammed through 40-ft. polar packs, it moved smoothly. In their specially fitted cabins above the waterline, newsmen and other visitors barely heard the deep throb of the Manhattan's huge 43,000-h.p. engines...
