...every U.S. advance in submarine science is presumably within technological reach of the Soviet Union. U.S. intelligence indicates that the Russians have not yet built any nuclear subs. But the U.S.S.R. has the biggest submarine force ever known-500 boats, almost ten times the number Hitler had at the start of World War II. At least half the Soviet subs are new and big enough to have missile-launching capability, powerful enough to make long-range patrols into western Atlantic waters. In the last six months of 1957, the U.S. Navy recorded 186 separate reports of what may have been...
...sailor for 40 years and world Star-class champion in 1930, Knapp, 51, is no stranger to America's Cup races. In the last one, 21 years ago, he crewed aboard Harold Vanderbilt's victorious Ranger. After a slow start, he molded Weatherly's crew into a smooth-working unit, and his boat continues to improve. Vim's Matthews, at 24 the youngest of the skippers, is unsurpassed at beating the competition to the starting line by precious seconds, in last week's trial series trailed only once at the opening gun. But many experts...
This week, without contracts and with a vague strike threat in the air, furloughed Detroit workers were back on the assembly line, putting together cars for a new and hopefully better model year. Down the line with a clatter came the first 19595. Buick was slated to start first; four Chrysler divisions-Dodge, De Soto, Chrysler and Imperial-planned to tailgate close behind. Chevrolet and Plymouth were both to close out their 1958 model runs, quickly move new dies into place for 1959. Only Ford held aloof, will produce 1958 Mercurys, Fords, Lincolns and Edsels through August...
...very model of a modern American optimist, with some cheery predictions for the future. Said Curtice, who has been more often right than wrong: In 1959 the auto industry will sell about 5,500.000 cars (v. an estimated 4,300,000 in '58), which in turn will "start a chain reaction throughout the whole economy. I should expect a further increase in the gross national product in the fourth quarter, and that this improvement would gather momentum through...
...Clerk Tony Perkins, who seems to be trying to recapture Jimmy Stewart's lost youth, paws the ground and in that familiar marble-mouthed drawl reckons that he might try kissing a girl: "I'm six foot two and a half tall; I've got to start some time." Replies Robert Morse, his shy fellow clerk: "I'm five foot five, so it isn't so urgent for me." Brought off at breakneck speed amidst a kaleidoscope of neck-breaking pratfalls, this chatter and unabashed clowning by all hands turn Matchmaker into a highly amusing...
