...offers a smaller target for existing radar. It is only two-thirds the size of the B-52 (see chart). It can also fly faster and lower (600 m.p.h. at about 70 or 80 ft. above the ground). The B-l also is equipped with the most advanced black-box gear, which sends out electronic signals to counteract enemy warning systems. But critics maintain that when the Soviets develop new defensive weapons, including look-down radar and radar picket planes, like the AWACS, the B-l will become obsolete...

It was a victory that brought Queen Elizabeth II-making her first visit to Wimbledon in 15 years-down from the royal box to present Wade with her Wimbledon trophy. The delighted crowd in turn bestowed a very British benediction on its "Ginny": a rousing chorus of "For she's a jolly good fellow...
