...Another poet, William Shakespeare, was packing them in just as tightly. London's Old Vic, in its first New York appearance since 1956, performed to near capacity crowds every night (Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Henry V). The troupe expects to wind up its 25-week U.S. tour next month with total grosses of $1,200,000.

Once, Anderson nosed his sub to the seemingly ice-free surface but jarred against thin ice and blacked out both his periscopes. A 15-hour repair feat, in a choppy sea and bone-numbing wind, restored No. 1 periscope to use. Constant fear: that the conditions at the top of the world, which confuse both magnetic and gyro compasses, would doom Nautilus to a game of "longitude roulette," in which the directionless ship might wander aimlessly around the Arctic Ocean without finding either...
