Recognizing the inefficiency of this "transshipment," a New York entrepreneur named Robert P. Davis has come up with a better plan. His Energy Corp. of America has spent $200,000 to design an enormous shallow-draft ship, which he calls the "ecology tanker." If built as planned, it will look almost roly-poly-890 ft. long, 170 ft. wide, but drawing only 39 ft. fully loaded. At this draft, it can slide easily into most major ports, while still carrying 800,000 bbl. of oil. Much more maneuverable in narrow channels than the monster tankers (thanks to powerful "thruster" propellers...
Superstar is truly anti-Jewish, but worse, it is antiChrist. Your criticism is terribly kind to a contrivance that exploits for profit the very heart and soul of our Christian belief with this very shallow interpretation, covered over with neon, tinsel and noise...

Contradicting the consensus of past and present critics (including such men as President Eisenhower). Ulam contends that Ngo Dinh Diem would have won had elections been held in 1956. "It is a testimony not so much to his undemocratic propensities as to his political clumsiness, one should think, that Diem did not insist on having elections," he writes. What evidence has he for this astonishing conclusion? "The partition of Vietnam...
