Campaigning with Adlai was all right, but the closely timed schedule sort of cramped Kefauver's style. He wanted to get out by himself and start beating the bushes, taking all the time he needed to shake every hand he could find. He means to do everything that energy and ambition can accomplish to win the election. The Vice President's chair is not quite what...
...best, their efforts have resulted in such spectacular triumphs as the restoration of Leonardo's Last Supper (TIME, Oct. 4, 1954).

Michely constructed a simple device: a strong-walled pressure vessel with a valve and a nozzle at one end. When used as a rocket booster, it is filled with 66 Ibs. of water heated electrically to 504° F.

When the valve is opened, part of the water turns into steam, and a jet of steam and water spurts out at 1,140 m.p.h. The reaction, Michely claims, can push an airplane forward just as efficiently as a fuel-burning...
