Shortly after noon Tuesday, Thresher was 30 miles southeast of Portsmouth. With the rescue ship Skylark standing by, the submarine's klaxon blared, and she buried her nose in the Atlantic for her first series of test dives-all shallow.

The President saw F-104s hit target rockets with Sidewinder missiles, laughed as an ancient C-47, all souped up with JATO rockets, shot into the sky like a jet. He inspected a line of 33 different aircraft, from the X-15 to the B-52, ducked inside a security hangar for a look at supersecret weapons...
Like a merry-go-round pony suddenly gone berserk, Blue Boy bellowed with rage and bucketed across the arena. Spinning, rearing, kicking up clouds of acrid dust, the wild-eyed horse struggled to un seat its rider. The violent ballet lasted just ten seconds.
