...pound from plummeting would be to buy up at the present rate of exchange (about $2.80) all the sterling offered. To demonstrate Britain's determination and ability to do so, Macmillan soberly outlined a series of measures by which he could almost double the nation's liquid dollar reserves. In case of urgent necessity, Britain could withdraw as much as $561 million of the $1.3 billion she had subscribed to the International Monetary Fund, and permission to make such withdrawals had already been requested. "Secondly," said the chancellor, "Her Majesty's Government own U.S. dollar securities...
...living storage vats of the honey-cask tribe. There is some marvelous stop-motion cinematography. Roots grow like wild white worms before the watcher's eyes. Gourds bulge, flowers bloom, tomatoes blush. Best of all are the scenes of underwater life. The archer fish, with fearful accuracy, spits liquid arrows several feet into the air, and bags a butterfly for dinner. The angler fish, looking like nothing but a clump of seaweed, sprouts a fishing pole from its nose, and dangles a tempting piece of built-in bait before a passing mullet.

...extraordinary thing about the Terrapin is its small size and simplicity. It is less than 15 ft. long, 6¼ in. in diameter, and weighs only 224 lbs. It has none of the expensive valves, pumps, turbines, etc., that cram the innards of liquid-propellant rockets. Its propulsive mechanism is nothing but two strong-walled "bottles" tightly filled with a slow-burning explosive. When the first bottle fires, the rocket reaches the speed of 1,900 m.p.h. in six seconds. The second bottle takes over at 40,000 ft. and boosts the speed to 3,800 m.p.h. Only the simplest...
