Today's top of the news
comes from the top of the world.
:03:06
The unpredictable Admiral Harriman Nelson
has done it again.
:03:10
His brainchild, a fantastic atomic submarine
with an amazing glass nose,
:03:15
is now undergoing final tests
below the ice at the North Pole.
:03:19
To judge the final test,
the Bureau of Maríne Exploratíon
:03:23
has sent a seaplane wíth íts top officer,
the former více-admíral, B J Crawford,
:03:28
to rendezvous wíth
the submaríne Seavíew ín the Arctíc.
:03:31
Flyíng wíth hím ís the Congressíonal
watchdog of the budget,
:03:35
penny-pínchíng Congressman
Llewellyn Parker,
:03:37
who had fought a losíng fight agaínst
what he had termed ''Nelson's folly.''
:03:43
And so the questíon of the day
comes to thís:
:03:45
Wíll the final test on the USOS Seavíew
turn ít ínto ''Nelson's folly''?
:03:51
Or wíll ít be another tríumph
of a great man, a great ínventor,
:03:55
who, despíte hís oddball reputatíon,
:03:58
may yet emerge as the predomínant
scíentifíc geníus of our tíme?
:04:03
So, bon voyage, Admíral Nelson.
Good luck, Seavíew.
:04:08
Well, gentlemen, modesty forbids
my adding anything to that.
