...built by Grumman Aircraft under $1,500,000 contract from Maritime Administration, which calls it one of the most significant advances in marine transport in 50 years. Powered by gas turbine engine, the all-aluminum, 104-ft. ship will carry 100 passengers, ride on hydrofoils that lift entire hull out of water...
...with 16 nuclear-tipped, 1,200-mile-range Polaris missiles, ready to prowl the globe as an undersea missile-launching platform. She is the first of a projected nine Polaris subs that will give the U.S. a new order of strategic capability against the Soviet Union. "Under this stout hull," said Dr. George Kistiakowsky, President Eisenhower's chief scientific adviser, "there are now hidden-or will soon be-the most advanced and diverse products of our technology; turbine and rocket propulsion, nuclear power and nuclear weapons, electronics ... It is a breathtaking microcosm of American technology." Blue & Gold...

Although Hull is playing his first season at left wing and only his third in the N.H.L., Toronto Coach Punch Imlach rates him second only to Beliveau, and Chicago fans are already hoping that some day their young star will lead the team to its initial first-place finish...
...cement-plant foreman and Canadian-born-like nearly every other player in the N.H.L.-Hull first handled a stick at the age of four back in Point Anne, Ont. By the time he was 14, he looked so good just playing junior-league hockey in Belleville, Ont. that he caught the eye of a touring Black Hawk scout, who reserved the likely prospect for Chicago by signing him to an option contract for a bonus so small that he now says: "I'm ashamed to mention it." Pro hockey is one of the toughest of all sports, but Hull...
