...young widow at a quiet White House ceremony last week, President Eisenhower handed a letter sealed in a pale green envelope and expressing deep personal feeling: "To the President of the U.S. in 1972-76: The recent untimely death of a fine young American-Captain Iven C. Kincheloe Jr., U.S. Air Force-brought a real sense of loss to our nation. In recognition of his many exemplary deeds as a pioneer in advanced aeronautic research, I am making a request which seeks to express, in a small measure, the gratitude of the nation.

Personality & Family Life. A muscular, deep-voiced 185-pounder Brandt hates to get up in the morning, must be handled with care before breakfast, but then throws himself into his job until he switches out the lights in his modest two-family house at 3 a.m. (after an interlude of "reading and thinking alone").

...whole trench is conveniently capped by a layer of impermeable siltstone a few hundred feet below the present surface. Beneath it, porous rock accumulates steam like a kind of natural boiler. A well only 1,000 ft. deep taps this reservoir. Some of the steam is "juvenile," coming from water that was trapped in the deep interior when the earth was young and rising upward through the deep faults. The rest derives from surface water that has trickled down through cracks and been turned to steam by heat from below. When the steam gets to the surface, its pressure...
