...extremist firebrands. In the wretched Negro slums, the more moderate Negro leaders pack no clout with the young buckoes who toss Molotov cocktails and chant murderous antiwhite slogans. "A black man today," insists one Black Power advocate, "is either a radical or an Uncle Tom." In fact, only a fraction of America's 22 million Negroes falls into either category.

...months of experimentation, a group led by North American Electronics Engineer Edward Flint devised a compact infrared sensor that can be mounted atop a plane. While scanning 45° to either side of the aircraft's flight path, the sensor can detect temperature variations as small as a fraction of a degree Fahrenheit in atmospheric carbon dioxide at a range of from 24 to 48 miles. These variations register on three side-by-side cockpit gauges that show the pilot whether a temperature gradient lies directly ahead or 45° to the left or right of his flight path...
