...Portable Escort. A tiny but clamorous siren for unescorted women to carry at night was put on sale by Dallas' Atlas Alarm Corp. Noisy enough to be heard a quarter of a mile away, the spring-powered siren is intended to scare off molesters and summon rescuers. Price...
...Nautilus will certainly make 25 knots, and there is good reason to hope that she will make 30 knots (35 m.p.h.). The best destroyers steam only slightly faster (when the sea is not too rough), and most other small escort vessels are sluggards by comparison.

The doctor himself becomes smitten with Mary, but the cloven hoof, in the end, proves no match for the youthful hoofer. Picking up after a slow start, the play has enough bright remarks and gay incidents, enough humor, novelty and point of view for a refreshingly pleasant evening. This is true despite the fact that-though Actress Tandy makes a winning Mary Doyle-Actor Cronyn lacks the regrettable charm and dash of the Devil...
