...Fords-along with seven other drivers with Ford engines behind them. Nor were these the same souped-up versions of the old family Fairlane engine that raced in 1963. For this year, Ford had a brand-new, strictly racing engine with an aluminum block, double overhead camshaft, and a fuel injection system that cranked up close...
...would have only about half that number. This was the so-called "missile gap," which became a 1960 presidential campaign issue. To help plug the anticipated gap, the U.S. deployed 1,500-mile Thor and Jupiter missiles in Europe, then gambled heavily on Polaris and Minuteman. Since their solid fuel could be stored almost indefinitely inside the missiles, they could be fired more quickly and maintained more easily than the liquid-fueled, long-countdown Atlas and early Titan. They could also be built more cheaply...
Protective Fuel. The fierce heat that will surround the XB-70A in flight was an overriding problem for its designers. Almost every part had to be heat-resistant. The tires, for example, are made by B.F. Goodrich out of material that stands twice the temperature that melts ordinary airplane tires. To dispel the heat that will fight its way toward the crew, North American's engineers decided to make the fuel carry it away. While the XB-70A is cruising at Mach 3, its fuel will circulate, cooling the interior, absorbing enough heat every minute to evaporate four gallons...

Businessmen believe that Johnson thinks the way they think, point out that he is the first President since Herbert Hoover to have had successful business experience. Says Boston's Eli Goldston, president of Eastern Gas & Fuel Associates: "He's a good model of today's professional business manager...
