There is a new kind of hot houseboat that comes with a deep V hull and powerful twin in-board-outdrive engines, and can plane at speeds of 30 m.p.h. or more, as fast as conventional cruisers costing twice as much.

Pentagon photos of Pueblo taken after the ship's renovation in Bremerton, Wash., show advanced low-frequency antennas that would permit the ship to communicate with U.S. nuclear...

To the dismay of the 48-year-old family firm of Rollei-Werke, Franke & Heidecke, the cameras have proved the more perishable of the two. Although Rollei's famed twin-lens reflex practically revolutionized photography when it was introduced in 1929, business began to go stale in the late '50s when its patents ran out, cheap imitations rolled in, and Rollei was caught without new developments...
