...Senate: "Because of my inauguration tomorrow as President of the republic, I have the honor of presenting your excellency this declaration of the worldly goods which I possess." There were seven items: an apartment in Rio worth $5,000, four parcels of stock worth $9,000, "one Aero-Willys automobile, 1961 model" and "a perpetual tomb in the São João Batista cemetery in Rio de Janeiro."

Flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the two-man plane will range up to 3,000 miles with a load of nuclear-tipped missiles. The variable-sweep wing idea came from Aero-dynamist John Stack five years ago. when he was working for the Government. Big design teams from Boeing and General Dynamics have built...
