...which must always know its precise location, are banks of digital computers. They are linked to the ship's inertial navigation system (SINS). The three SINS, which check each other, dangle from the stable ceiling platform of the Ethan Allen's navigation center. They contain a secret array of spinning gyroscopes and accelerometers, can measure the most minute variation in the ship's movement due to drift. A computer called NAVDAC (for navigation data assimilation computer) records the position changes detected by SINS...
Having quit the Labor Cabinet in 1951, along with Firebrand Aneurin Bevan, Wilson has inherited much of Bevan's leftwing support.

In seven league contests, six different players have taken game scoring honors, although no one has broken the 20-point barrier...
...powerful Eagles of Boston College sprayed varsity goalie Godfrey Wood with a constant array of shots at the Boston Garden last night to down the Crimson 3-1 and regain the Bean Pot lost to Harvard a year ago. Injuries, penalties, and incredibly sloppy hockey in the final period thwarted the varsity's hopes for a second straight tourney win and their fifth Bean Pot crown in 11 years...
