Grin Returns. Next morning Politico Rockefeller rose like a new day. Into his hotel suite for breakfast came a Wisconsin delegation which left enthusiastically with the word that Rocky probably would be speaking "somewhere" in their state on his return from California and Oregon next month. Several Illinois Republican bigwigs dropped in for a chat, and National Committeeman Morton Hollingsworth observed: "I would have no fears as a Republican if he should be elected...

The gut-pounding stress was too much for the 248,000-lb. plane, and ordinarily the wings might have torn loose. But the 707 was designed to lose its engines under such strain, rather than its wings-and three engines ripped loose, plummeted to earth...
