For 18 hr. 1 min. the former U.S. Army film director submarined along 15 feet beneath the surface, accompanied by a launch and encased in a steel cage that kept the aqualunged swimmer from drifting off course. Said the feisty Floridian, who prepped for his 22-mile swim by traversing the Straits of Messina's Scylla...
Syndet stands for synthetic detergent. Handed in sudsy quantity to the happy housewife after World War II, syndets proved so popular that they now account for 70% of all household cleansers, marketed under a series of bouncy monosyl lables as synthetic as themselves - Tide, Fab, Cheer, Breeze, Duz, Surf. During 1961, U.S. housewives bought 3,469,114,000 lbs., or $831 million worth...
