...Decks Ran Red (M-G-M), another high-tension, low-budget movie made by Andrew and Virginia Stone (Julie, Cry Terror!), is a shipboard scare-show that will probably make a good many customers queasy-some because they cannot stand the sight of so much blood, others because they like their terror firmer. The story begins aboard a greasy old freighter when one of the hands (Broderick Crawford) decides that the world has too many people and he has too little money. He knows exactly how to solve both problems at once: murder everybody on board, then claim the ship...
...made the public love it. When the first three paintings, a Rembrandt Self-Portrait, Cézanne's portrait of Mme. Cézanne in Red, and Picasso's blue-period Mademoiselle B. (Suzanne Bloch) arrived in the nearby port of Santos, Chatô threw a shipboard champagne party to welcome them. In 1952, when Van Gogh's Schoolboy arrived in the capital city of Bahia, Chatô saw to it that school was let out and the new acquisition greeted by thousands of cheering students.

When reporters caught up with home-bound Randolph on shipboard in New York Harbor, they found him sleeping unperturbed...
...breakthroughs came at an awesome rate. Raborn needed a reliable solid fuel, for liquid fuels are both too volatile and too bulky for shipboard use. Aerojet-General Corp. and Thiokol Chemical Corp. brought out solid fuels with a wallop ("as simple," says Raborn, "as the comb in your pocket"). Even so, solids presented a big problem: how to cut off burning with the split-second precision necessary if the missile is to land on target. (Liquid oxygen can be shut off mechanically with a valve.) The solution: a design called a retrorocket that automatically blasts portholes in the fuel chamber...
