Ireland's O'Kelly, having weathered a New York ticker-tape parade and the Washington ceremonial circuit, including St. Patrick's Day at the White House, was bounding about Chicago like a leathery leprechaun. Proving himself of noble stuff, he managed to down such items as green rice, green clam chowder and green cookies without turning green himself. Steadfastly refusing to discuss political issues, he was nonetheless proud of his calling: "I have been a politician all my life. There is no nobler profession-except perhaps that of the church."

His idea of trapping electrons in the earth's magnetic field grew out of Astron, which is designed to trap ionized particles in a magnetic field in a laboratory rather than on a global scale. Nick's paper proposing Project Argus, written in late 1957, was not published except in classified form, and not all scientists agree that it was the first such proposal. Professor Fred Singer of the University of Maryland is said...
