Alas for The Little Mermaid! Peering in horror across the misty bay early one morning last week, a Danish laborer found that the Sea King's daughter had been most foully murdered. Where glistening head and neck had once bent yearningly seaward, there was only a jagged hole. As news of the deed spread through Copenhagen, Danes by the thousands came to stand and grieve along the waterfront. City officials assured Danes that Sculptor Edvard Eriksen's 50-year-old mold had been preserved; the mermaid would be recapitated within the week. Maybe. To earthlings who had come...
...Gulf of Mexico last week carrying men and material to 88 rigs perched off the Louisiana coast. Helicopters whirred overhead, and field offices set up by 20 major oil companies bulged with engineers and geological surveyors.

Then Allenby strikes north from Aqaba, and Lawrence leads...

Its great endurance (up to 95 hours without refueling) promised ample range as it beat to seaward off the New Jersey shore one day last week in search of a racing sloop, overdue on a Bermuda-to-Long Island...
