...Sure, sure, they got some good actors for it. They get Micheline Prelle, of the Rive Gauche. And Johnnie Garfield. He's a good actor, Danny. He's a great actor. And Orley Lindgren. They say he's good, too, but if I had my way I'd ram that little brat's teeth down his gullet. I never saw anything as stupid as a lousy kid actor trying to talk Hemingway...

These Paul Bunyan engines are intended primarily for expendable guided missiles. Since a ram jet does not have to carry its own oxygen, as a rocket does, it is seven times more efficient. But since ram jets have no power at all when standing still, the missile will probably be tossed into the air by a great booster rocket. When it reaches a sufficient speed (something like 500 m.p.h.) the ram jet will take over. Wright's experts also foresee another use for the big new ram jets: when airplanes fly at 2,000 m.p.h., they believe a ram...
