...spent an estimated $12 million developing and testing the T 44 and F.N.), a new-type rifle appeared on the Pentagon's horizon that gave promise of being superior to either. It was developed (at no cost to the taxpayer) in a Los Angeles machine shop by George Sullivan. 46, a Lockheed Aircraft Corp. patent attorney and engineer, whose hobby is guns. After Sullivan had produced a successful experimental model, he was taken under the wing of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corp. and turned out 30 copies of a highly efficient, 2¼-lb., unsinkable, survival...

Her part, of course, will not permit the clownishness of the others, but still one wishes that she would consent to do mere Gilbert and Sullivan. (With a heynonny. .)
