Sailors in orange life preservers over foul-weather gear bustled through the routine tasks of taking a sub to sea at Groton, Conn, one morning last week. When the Nautilus had quietly backed into the Thames River, made a smooth 180° turn and started pushing its massive, whalelike snout south toward Long Island Sound, the abovedeck crew relaxed and waved to the workers lining the docks.

In the dawning age of automation, machines were not only being substituted for human muscles; they were also being substituted...
Cleary set up the final two Crimson scores on smooth pass plays. He passed to Crehore on a breakaway, allowing him to go in along on the cage and score his second goal at 10:12. Four minutes later, Cleary got around the defense, drew Lawn to the right of the cage, and passed to defenseman Art Noyes, who was unguarded on the left, for the sixth goal...
