Emblazoned on its side was his message, #1 PRIORITY: BAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS. A man in a dark blue jumpsuit and a black motorcycle helmet with a visor covering his face emerged from the van, brandishing a menacing-looking black box. He announced that his van contained 1,000 Ibs. of TNT with which he threatened to reduce the monument to "a pile of rocks." He brusquely handed a park...

...life caring for the big plane. A parachute rigger fresh out of the Navy, he signed on with Hughes at 21, in 1946. "We ran the controls every other week, hydraulics one week and electrical the next." Soderberg is a lean, intense fellow who wears an airman's jumpsuit. He saw the plane's only flight, on Nov. 2, 1947, when Hughes lifted it off the water of Long Beach Harbor and flew it at a height of 70 ft. for about a mile. Hughes had announced he would only undertake taxiing tests, but Soderberg says he knew...
