...this instance a Siamese ballet version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," by Jerome Robbins. The ballet is clever and colorful, but it also shows that the court of Siam and the Hammerstein concept of grass-roots America can be juxtaposed only so far without becoming ludicrous. The ill-fated, sub-plot love affair of "South Pacific" is repeated in "The King and I," and again the man involved dies. This time it's not very effective...
...ways this week at the Electric Boat Co. yard in Groton, Conn. It is the Ki, pocket-size (750 tons) submarine, designed and built with one mission: to hunt and destroy other submarines. Only a little more than half as big as the Navy's fleet-type sub, the K-i's job is to lie in ambush along enemy submarine lanes, spot its prey with sonar gear, then nail the enemy with homing torpedoes equipped with electronic ears. It is one answer to the threat of Russia's big and still growing underwater fleet. Said Rear...

Last week there were some guarded indications that the true sub was out of the dream stage at last. Said Atomic Energy Commissioner Sumner Pike: "In an attempt to get useful power from atomic fission, we are engaged in the design and construction of a power plant for naval submarines. The design of two practical, though expensive, devices for submarine propulsion is practically complete, and one of them is partly...
