...hearing their efforts excoriated by local politicians and extolled by visiting diplomats that they seldom stop to listen to either. Last week they pricked up their ears when a departing diplomat reversed the process. A successful U.S. businessman for 40 years (metal factory, condensed milk, the Ask Mr. Foster travel agency), grey-haired Francis E. Rogers of New York City went to Britain in 1951 with an American aid mission to spend five years observing British factories.

An "ionic motor" of this sort can run, theoretically, almost forever on a cupful of uranium...
Back from Eternity (RKO Radio) is a sort of air-travel poster that looks as if t had been issued by the railroad lobby. As the Aere Pan Latina plane, a beat-up old bimotor, goes whiffling over the Cenral American jungle, the pilot (Robert Ryan) has a black-coffee-and-dark-glasses hangover, and the copilot (Keith Andes) s a scared kid with no more flying time in lis log than a week-old wren. Even less eassuring is the passenger list: a politial assassin (Rod Steiger), a small-time hood (Jesse White), a drunken cop (Fred Clark...
