...cartoons, tracing the story of atomic energy from Democritus to Rickover. The title ominously suggested that the show might smack more of Pluto than plutonium, but apart from small blemishes, e.g., giving a Russian accent to the villainous genie in the illustrative fable of the genie-in-the-vessel, the lesson was straightforward, cleverly taught and free of the cuteness with which some TV educators have patronized the mass audience...
Under the complicated maritime laws, the ships' liability is limited to the value of the vessels after the accident, unless negligence is proved.

For the operation is still going on, and the "cruise" is only Mr. Arcularis' ether dream. His "fellow passengers...
Americans spent a record $1.25 billion on boating last year, bringing the nation's pleasure armada to one vessel for every 28 people. Last week, as beaming boatbuilders launched the 47th National Motor Boat Show, the outlook for 1957 was for more clear sailing. Outside Manhattan's cavernous Coliseum, thousands queued up for as long as two hours in near-zero weather to see the biggest boating exhibit ever: 420 boats and thousands of nautical gadgets crammed into seven acres by 363 manufacturers...
