...late afternoon the Sixth Fleet had sailed: from Cannes the 60,000-ton supercarrier Forrestal, from Naples the 45,000-ton battleship Wisconsin, from Leghorn the carrier Lake Champlain, from Villefranche and Marseille the heavy cruisers Salem and Des Moines.

...Supreme Court last fall (TIME, Oct. 8) and now up for Senate confirmation. "Do you approve of congressional investigations and exposure of the Communist conspiracy setup?" asked Joe.
