...Voice of the Turtle, the play introduces two kinds of modern girl. One (Vicki Cummings), worldly and anxious for security and comfort, snares a conventionally religious Roman Catholic; their life is shallow but unshaken. The other girl (Viveca Lindfors), serious and independent-minded, rushes into an intense love affair with a bitter, harshly unsentimental young writer who, when she becomes pregnant, refuses to marry her. She, on the brink of suicide, responds to some inner voice; he, finally on the brink of despair, returns...
Shock Troops. Not until he had about 400,000 acres under lease did Jacobsen send in his teams of geologists and geophysicists to map the surface and underground strata. By such tricks as drilling shallow holes and setting off dynamite in them, the geophysicists could time the shock waves through the ground, thus guess at the type of rock, shale or sand strata through which the waves were passing. For four years the teams mapped the area. Then the results were studied for months by Amerada's Dr. Benjamin B. Weatherby, one of the top geophysicists of the industry...

In takeoffs, the fighter moves out from shallow water, its ski sliding along the bottom. As soon as it picks up speed and the ski cuts to the surface, the plane can skim over deep water for its take-off run. Once in the air, the hydro-ski can be retracted. After touching down, the pilot has to taxi fast enough for his plane to stay on the surface until he is close to beach or landing ramp...

It is a situation where the circumstances are shoddy, and only the consequences tragic...
Last summer a drainage project dropped the water level in the shallow lake and 112 more islands popped into sight. None was more than 100 ft. in diameter and not until last month did any seem worthy of attention. Then the Resident Works Engineer stumbled on the remains of a Stone Age dugout canoe. Immediately he sent for Joseph Raftery, Keeper of Irish Antiquities at Dublin's National Museum...
