Summary

Looking ahead into the New Year, our cameramen can give you a tip or two: you’ll lose your money on the Grand National, for one thing! Sky-diving records will be broken, for another. Motor racing will still be hazardous. The Polaris missile, that can be fired from submerged submarines, will still be big news, as a deterrent. There will be storms, gales, cyclones and hurricanes. And if there isn’t unrest and rioting in the Congo, it’s bound to be stirred up in some other parts of the world. Whatever happens, our cameramen will be there!
