And as he pulled out of Pearl Harbor last fortnight and set course almost due north toward the Aleutians and the Bering Straits, Nautilus' captain began to set about record-cracking...
...brushed his face. Even his closest friends could not tell whether it was anger or chagrin or guilt-as well as a sense of having failed the Administration-that whipped his mind. "He is not the kind of guy that can sit down and bat it around," said a staffer. "Even with his close friends, he can't be personal...
