...dynamic Bill Benton, who owns Muzak, runs the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and as an Assistant Secretary of State once directed the Voice of America. He hired a helicopter, plastered a big sign on it: "Here's Bill Benton," and went hopping about the state like a man on an aerial pogo stick. A leather-chair type gladhander, he strove for the common touch. At country fairs, he handed out windshield stickers and buttons, told the crowd: "I will say for you ladies that I've had an experience such as you may understand. Men's trousers weren...
Weather permitting, the varsity will work on pass defense today against a Cornell-type aerial attack. Ithacan quarterback Rocco Calvo was a pre-season favorite to be the key passer in Lefty James' offense, but Coach Jordan said yesterday that his scouting reports revealed sophomore quarterback Jack Jaeckel to be the best all-around Cornell hurler. Calvo was, however, very successful with his long passes in the Lafayette and Syracuse games...
...Powell, an aerial gunner who was wounded seriously by German flak in World War II, came back home to serve as $10,000-a-year aide to New Hampshire's senior Senator, Styles Bridges, who is no friend of Tobey's.

The Consolidated Vultee B-36, a cigar-shaped aerial monster, is LeMay's blue-ribbon flying warship. It costs $4,700,000 before it ever gets off the ground (a small submarine costs $6,000,000). The tanks in its 230-ft. wing can swallow 2½ tank-car loads of gasoline, enough to feed its six pusher engines for nearly two days. It can cruise over the enemy out of sight of earth-and, the Air Force...
...Boeing B-29s (which SAC pilots used to call "mouse-powered," and their 2,200-h.p. engines, "dollar alarm clocks"), and there are three groups of their beefed-up postwar cousins, the Boeing B-50s. The mediums can't fly from U.S. bases to Russia without elaborate aerial refueling,* but they could shuttle devastatingly between Britain, Russia and the Middle East...
