As the ship touched down exactly 2 days, 6 hr., 13 min. and 10 sec. after the start of her globe-girdling flight, the pilot of a little chase plane said: "Welcome home."

After the ink dries, the sheets have to be flipped over and run through the presses all over again. Instead, the bureau would prefer a press that can print on both sides at once, thereby effectively doubling output...

He added some Don Diego cigars for Nixon, a secret indulgence. Yamada made certain that he had enough footies and eye masks for the 23-hr. 35-min. round-trip journey...
