Director Josh Rubins' songs were a significant addition to Milne's prose. They were well sung and used effectively to split scenes, but moralized too explicitly. For instance, "seek and you shall find," when Eeyore lost his tail, "it's the thought that counts," when Pooh and Piglet gave Eeyore his birthday presents in less-than-perfect condition, and in general equating Pooh's love of honey outright with human vices. This contrasts sharply with Milne, for an important part of Pooh's charm is his subtlety; morals are implicit in Milne's stories. If you want a lesson, Pooh...
...taxing problem, and the Russians have given up trying to solve it. Headed Nixon's way by freighter is a gift from Moscow as capitalist as they come: a hydrofoil boat.

To those who are troubled by the asymmetry of his design, Jones has a ready answer: nature has "given man an instinctive feeling for bilateral symmetry," but it "does not provide us with a guide for supersonic flight; there are no supersonic birds...

Sown by low-flying Navy planes, some of them were dropped to the surface by parachute; others, equipped with tail fins, plunged straight to the water. Then they were programmed to settle at various depths in patterns designed to frustrate enemy minesweepers. Some were probably sent to the bottom while others were moored by cables. The mines used last week were not the most sophisticated the U.S. possesses-the risk...
...twelve school sprints held last weekend at Princeton, Radcliffe finished two seconds behind winning Princeton. Olmsted attributed the loss to fatigue. "We had been traveling all day, and we rowed considerably faster this weekend. I'm sure we could have beaten Princeton this time around. The current and slight tail wind helped a bit," he said...
