Ever since the League of Nations so spectacularly failed to make the world safe for democracy, Geneva has earned a reputation as a home of lost causes. Diplomats who acknowledge its convenience and its setting hate to be identified with its name. Among the hundreds of diplomats, sword bearers and aides, and the 1,174 newsmen who descended on the city last week, the prevailing mood seemed to be that the 15th Big Four conference since World War II was bound to be a meaningless inspection of knapsacks before a later trip to the summit...
King Sextimus (Jack Gilford) is a Harpo Marxist mute with whom no 15th century lady in waiting is more than half safe. Queen Agravaine (Jane White) is a jawing virago for whom possession is nine-tenths of motherhood's law. It begins to look as if their son, poor fretful Prince Dauntless (Joe Bova), will always be mama's boy. And then one day Princess Winnifred (Carol Burnett) swims the moat. Winnifred ("My friends call me 'Fred' ") rescues Dauntless from his possessive mother, but only after Fred's friends have built up the queen...

From animal experiments and sketchy data on humans, the Navy medics set a level of 10 milliwatts per square centimeter of body surface as conservatively safe for personnel aboard missile ships.

...questions, though as an all-out idea man he can be impatient with too much insistence on the practical. Comfort is largely a matter of habit, he argues; his house might seem uncomfortable at first, yet not remain so. The curving lips of the interior overhangs make them fairly safe for children. There is visual privacy, though not the privacy that doors afford. The kitchen is to be built into one of the supporting pillars beneath. Radiant heating will keep the house snug. Storage space exists in abundance between the interior and exterior shells of the building...
