...Black Diamond. The U.S. submarine revolution has its concomitant fact of cold-war life: every U.S. advance in submarine science is presumably within technological reach of the Soviet Union. U.S. intelligence indicates that the Russians have not yet built any nuclear subs. But the U.S.S.R. has the biggest submarine force ever known-500 boats, almost ten times the number Hitler had at the start of World War II. At least half the Soviet subs are new and big enough to have missile-launching capability, powerful enough to make long-range patrols into western Atlantic waters. In the last six months...

But while the Yankees ran off and out of reach of the rest of the American League by late May. the Braves bumbled along into August without showing championship form. After a fine start, Spahn ran into a temporary slump. Burdette could not manage to win consistently. Conley has yet to win a game. Rush did not finish a game in twelve straight starts. Buhl came up with a shoulder injury...
