...bases, they argue, are already prime Russian targets, and SAC missile-launching sites (where liquid-fuel rockets require considerable time getting up steam) will be, too. Polaris subs, on the other hand, are moving platforms that would defy pinpointing. Moreover, with U.S.-manned Polaris subs operating in foreign waters, the nation would not need to haggle with NATO countries over placing IRBM launching sites on their soil. And finally, say the Navymen, since Polaris-plus-submarine equals an intercontinental missile, the U.S. coiild stop work on ICBMs and their-bases altogether...
Thicker than Salve. In Miami, the gloom was thicker than the anti-sunburn salve of good years. With many a smaller hotel discreetly advertising steam heat, the bigger hotels plugged morning movies and bridge tournaments for guests unable to stay outside, reported business off 20% to 30%. But some hotelmen quickly slashed rates, even offered free airline transportation for wives. Miami hoped there might still be a long late season, if the weather should moderate.

It bounces to life in Jack Warden's amusing, likable performance as a fight manager, most notably when he goes fully clothed, on business, to a steam room. The show turns sprightly once again when a bunch of neighborhood tykes warble Uh-Huh, Oh Yeah. It tingles pleasantly when Barbara McNair and Lonnie Sattin sing Fair Warning and reprise All of These and More. And it looks nice, thanks to William and Jean Eckart's sets...
...hand-scale reign undisputed. In the hot days of July ices-and-syrup went at a nickel a cup to kids tossing a Spaulding above heads too busy to notice them, and in December the chestnut men huddled in doorways while their cookers sent up thin jets of steam into the frenzied...
