...Ducts. The most obvious use for nuclear power was to enable submarines to cruise submerged for long periods out of contact with the air, but the success of the Nautilus convinced doubters in the Navy that nearly all ships would benefit too. Nuclear carriers, needing no fuel oil, can carry twice as much fuel for their brood of airplanes. Their nuclear boilers discharge no combustion gases, so their superstructures will be clear of the enormous ducts that clutter oil-burning carriers. This will leave more space for vital radar and airplane-handling equipment...
...steeply with increasing speed. A submerged submarine makes no waves. If it is properly designed to minimize skin friction and turbulence in the wake, it can move faster than a wavemaking surface ship of the same power. Conventional non-nuclear submarines are slow underwater because their electric engines must use with utmost economy the power stored in their batteries, but one non-nuclear submarine, the Albacore, was specially built to see what a submarine could do if her hull were designed for underwater speed, and her electric propulsion strengthened a little...
...offer of his old job and success, measured out in such tired clichés as mere money, prestige and social standing. Instead, he clings nobly to his massive martini shaker and the vague notion that he would rather be "some place down the ladder where he can use his energies naturally-not be afraid all the time-be himself." Despite an occasionally listless script ("Oh dear, I can't stand the sight of blood"). Success got its savor from fine performances by Dependable Actress Eileen Heckart and TV's perennial Big-Business Boss Everett Sloane, stood...
...that, and if we do we fall into the same confusion as there was in Jerusalem at Pentecost-we excite some to Godly praise but others to perplexity and contempt . . . And there is the paradox that because the great Church has not yet learned to agree sufficiently in the use of its corporate weapons of the Holy Spirit, the World Council of Churches offers to help the great Church to find itself and do its work of worship, witness and service, or indeed sets out to teach it its duty. It can do much as a family...
Most couples now deliberately regulate the number of their children and the intervals between births. But half such couples do not use birth control measures until after at least one pregnancy, and many not until after as many as four pregnancies. Of the women who had not yet used birth control, nearly all (except the subfertile) intended to do so at some future time. Even among Roman Catholics, Dr. Freedman found, 87% of the normally fertile couples had used or intended to use some means of family limitation. "Many," he reported, "use the rhythm method, but many...
