Trutta, Tang, Wahoo. The sea saga began at 2 a.m. July 23, when Nautilus pulled clear of its berth at Pearl Harbor, its destination announced as the Panama Canal. Only a handful of Americans knew Nautilus' secret mission-an 8,146-mile voyage from Pearl Harbor to Portland, England, via the North Pole. Last August and September Nautilus had probed under the ice pack in a little-noticed voyage, got within 180 miles of the Pole and closer than any ship had gone before. Last December Nautilus' developer, Rear Admiral Hyman Rickover, predicted that Nautilus would...
...Democratic Senator John McClellan had demonstrated with frightening clarity the need for remedial labor legislation. Urged on by Labor Secretary James Mitchell, Massachusetts' Democratic Senator John Kennedy and New York's Republican Senator Irving Ives co-sponsored a fairly satisfactory bill that would require 1) periodic secret-ballot union elections, and 2) regular union reporting to the U.S. Labor Department on financial and other dealings, under threat of subpoena.

The D.S.T. has long warred on the F.L.N.'s clandestine organization in France, which levies taxes to finance the rebels in Algeria, operates an espionage network and an underground escape route. The F.L.N.'s biggest coup occurred this spring, when it smuggled out of the country an entire soccer team made up of star Algerian players (TIME, April 28). In combatting the F.L.N., French secret police have made thousands...
...accept that. They want us to concede as though we proposed it, to submit as we would to our own self-imposed directives. What are we to do? Everyone well realizes that little by little, outward resistance will be weakened, that eventually, only one's innermost, secret adherence to faith will be possible...
