It may be electrical, depending on the long-lived, high-performance mercury batteries now being perfected for cardiac pacemakers (TIME, Jan. 11, 1960). Another possibility...
...longest put established a fantastic new record of 70 ft. 7 in. Sighed Baylor University Coach Clyde Hart: "One day, we'll see Matson peel off his A. & M. warm up suit, and underneath he'll have on a cape and a big S on his chest. Then he'll fly away, and we'll wonder whether we really...
