...east coast becomes, in part, Lieutenant Falconer's uneasy odyssey in search of his own soul-a search begun when he learns that a chance bed companion is to bear him a child, and completed when he walks along the littered beach at Normandy. "All along the shore, bodies-beautiful, naked, torn and shattered bodies, a head here, an arm, a leg there-protruded like marbles from the sapphires of the sea and the golden desert of the sands, and the sunshine of eternity rang around them . . . For an age-one lonely, solitary, divine and everlasting moment-the full...
...Cone was not trying to turn his daughter into an athlete. Cone, a safety director for a Teterboro, N.J. factory, taught six year-old Carin to swim for a perfectly prosaic reason: he did not want to worry when the family went holidaying on the Jersey shore. But Ray Cone knew an athlete when he saw one. Little Carin took to the water so naturally that he sent her to a swimming coach to find out how good she really was. Today, at 16, Carin is good enough to hold all four American women's backstroke titles...
Stern Resistance. Ernie King's reputation as a "sundowner" (seagoing for martinet) was legendary in the service. In the prewar Navy, where the work was sometimes slack, shore leaves plentiful, he ran a taut command from sunrise to sundown, often ordered gunnery practice on weekends.

"Sir," replied...

So far, none of their finds is likely to jeopardize the record sales of such old reliables as Jo Stafford and Dinah Shore, but some are well worth a listen. Bethlehem puts its money on Helen Carr (Why Do I Love You) and Terry Morel (Songs of a Woman in Love); EmArcy displays the modern phrasings of Helen Merrill; Storyville has uncovered a sweet-husky voice on Introducing Milli Vernon; Liberty...
While Africa strained under the growing pressure of racial tension, a strange and polychromic group of idealists, white, black and brown, gathered last week on the southern shore of Nyasaland's windy and beautiful Lake Nyasa. From every corner of east and central Africa, by every means of transportation, they traveled to a wooded rise perched above the surf-tossed shores where lions and gazelles had roamed only a few weeks before. With them they brought an idea that they hope will change all Africa into a land without racial barriers or bitterness...
