...critic: "Perhaps the foreign visitors . . . were able to feel what the Kingdom of France once meant"). When a musicologist belatedly discovered that Composer Moulinié had never written a Mass, Father Emile Martin of Paris' Church of St. Eustache dutifully confessed that he had composed it in his spare time (TIME, Mar. 24, 1952).

Their long months of balmy weather and seaboard beaches make waterbugs of thousands of Australians as soon as they can toddle. Once a youngster can keep his head above the surface, he can join one of 450 A.S.U. sponsored clubs, where competent coaches will teach him free...
...antennas and twirling radar reflectors are so sensitive that an upended card table floating off the Florida Keys was recently reported by a rookie radarman as "four unidentified submarines." Virtually every modern weapon depends upon electronics in some way, and the Army keeps track of its 100 million-item spare-parts inventory by electronic computers, which do the work of days in seconds.
