...famed prop-driven F4U Corsairs came off the line in 1953; bugs and engine trouble held back the Corsair's successor, the big twin-jet F7U Cutlass fighter, with production scheduled to end in late 1955. Though C. V. was also producing the Navy Regulus guided missile, had a development contract for a new supersonic missile and subcontracts from other planemakers, it needed a new plane to keep its 2.3 million-sq. ft. Dallas plant and 12,000-man force busy. As it was, first-quarter 1955 sales slumped to $26.9 million, down $8.4 million from...
Moving in as weaponry for the new Navy is a growing family of guided missiles: Terrier, Talos and Tartar, Regulus, Petrel, Sparrow and Sidewinder. With a big stock of conventional big-gun ammunition on hand, the Navy is making no more (except for target rounds). The missile cruisers Boston and Canberra are in service with their radar-controlled antiaircraft Terriers. The ancient battleship Mississippi, converted three years ago to a missile carrier, is a busy floating laboratory for missile development. Two conventional submarines. Tunny and Barbero, have been converted to missiles, and two more conversions are authorized. The Navy...

...quarter of the boost would go to U.S. guided missile development, which has so far got into production the relatively short-range Nike, Terrier, Sparrow, Falcon, Corporal. Regulus, Matador and Honest John. The 1,000-to-1,500 mile range Intermediate Range Ballistics Missile with nuclear warhead, still on the drawing boards, would probably be the main new development. Research would also be heavily concentrated on the Intercontinental Ballistics Missile, which may have a thermonuclear warhead. Wilson cautioned that the I.C.B.M. is still at least five years away...
...Century the Picts. shrinking into their lairs from the wind that blows off the Firth of Tay from the North Sea, called the place Kilrymont or Muckross. Later St. Regulus, the Bishop of Patras in Achaea, was guided thither bearing the relics of St. Andrew. Angus. King of the Picts, gave the prelate a duney tract known as the Boar Chase, and the pious Bishop promptly changed its name to St. Andrews. For centuries wind-bitten shepherds had knocked bits of stone about the hummocks with crooked staves in a dour and solitary game called golf, but they...
