But a fuel line burst in third-place Miss Exide's engine compartment. The flames forced Driver Bill Brow to dive into the lake, and that automatically halted the race.

In this capacity, he helped in the training not only of John Glenn but of Ham and Enos, the chimpanzees who broke into space before men did. White figures that he "went weightless" 1,200 times-for a total of about five...
