...read of Americans, the more I am convinced that George Bernard Shaw was right, when he said: "The Americans are the only nation to leap from barbarism to decadence without becoming civilized." Today the great Statue of Liberty is just a mockery because you are undoubtedly the most bigoted, narrow-minded and sadistic race in the world, both in your intolerant and unjust attitude toward the colored race in your midst, and your intolerance toward any religion except the one you think is right-self-worship...
Between ice in and ice out, Canada's St. Lawrence Seaway Authority turned its efforts to remedying a problem that marred the waterway's inaugural season last year. Big seagoing vessels had such high wind-catching bows and their crews were so inexperienced in the narrow locks and channels that there were 76 accidents along the 27½ mile Welland Canal between Lakes Ontario and Erie. The authority spent $7,500,000 on new mooring walls and fender booms for the Welland, ordered all ships to carry special landing booms, stern anchors and winches. The equipment is sure...
...danger about which all voters might justly be concerned would be the possible election of a Catholic unsophisticated in his faith. The church holds no binding political power over its members, nor does it enjoy impeccability in this sphere. Certainly an educated Catholic is aware of the narrow scope of the Pope's infallibility and of how seldom he speaks ex cathedra. A great concern of the truly enlightened electorate ought to be the possibility of a candidate lacking in religious convictions...
...example, they can tell it to start taking pictures when it is over Czechoslovakia a few minutes later. They can also select which camera to use. One camera has a wide-angle lens and takes pictures of an 800-mile square of the earth. The other camera has a narrow-angle lens that pictures, in more detail, a smaller area. The narrow lens camera has an obvious potential for military reconnaissance-so some details about it were therefore last week being kept under security wraps...
...favorite habitat of CAT is close to the jet stream, the narrow belt of high-speed wind that snakes around the earth from west to east in mid-latitudes, often reaching 250 m.p.h. The turbulent region below the jet stream may begin as low as 15,000 ft., increasing in roughness as it nears the stream (which is not itself normally turbulent) at an average of about 30,000 ft. Another layer of CAT rides on top of the stream, reaching to 40,000 ft. There is normally some turbulence on both sides of the jet stream, but the north...
