...years in the House of Representatives, New York's Republican Representative W. Sterling ("Stub") Cole, 53, did his best work on committee assignment-postwar military policy, naval affairs, armed services. In 1947 he was appointed to the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, served as chairman during the crucial years 1953-54, during which U.S. H-bombs were under test in the Marshall Islands, helped rewrite the basic U.S. atomic energy law to get the U.S. into the atoms-for-peace business. Last year he also put in a stint as a member of the U.S. delegation that helped...
Alias Sapo. In his tepid way, he tells himself little stories to while away the time. Or perhaps he writes them, since he keeps the stub of a pencil, sharpened at both ends, and a notebook in his room. One story concerns Mr. Saposcat (Sapo for short, and Homo sapiens, of course) and his wife, who worry about whether their teen-age son will pass some sort of exam. Another is about a farm family that happens to bury a mule. Even though Malone becomes Saposcat temporarily, these episodes dribble into nothingness in keeping with Beckett's conviction that...
Streamlined as they were, the 58 aircraft gathered outside the little Burgundy village of Saint-Yan (pop. 859) seemed remnants of an earlier era-a time when flying was still for the birds or for men who wished to emulate them. No stub-winged jets waited to scream aloft, riding the thrust of a man-made thunderclap. These were sleek sailplanes, slim-winged, frail, and built to soar on the least suspicion of a breeze. Their pilots had come from 25 countries for the fifth postwar international gliding championships...
...plan for the London embassy. A girl in his office, whose desk Saarinen sometimes uses late at night, inevitably knows when he has been there. Says she: "It's like slicing down through the excavations at Troy-tracing paper, tobacco, paper, paper, matches, more paper, a cigar stub, paper, paper, paper...
...Navy and its planemakers, supersonic air war poses a tough question: how to build a jet hot enough to fight all comers yet cool enough to land on short carrier flight decks. Last week the Navy thought it had an answer. Off San Diego, a slim, stub-winged fighter swung in behind the carrier U.S.S. Bon Homme Richard and eased gracefully onto the canted flight deck. The plane was Chance Vought's supersonic F8U Crusader. The new jet had already landed successfully on the supercarrier Forrestal's big 1,036-ft. deck; now it proved that it could...
