After the election, Mr. Cohen dropped out of politics to devote full time to his graduate work in philosophy, mainly under the direction of Professor F. S. C. Northrop...
...present standbys of the U.S. Air Force (the B-36, F-80, etc.) are much like the airplanes of late World War II. Behind these in the development series stand strange-looking craft like the Northrop Flying Wing and the six-jet Boeing B-47, neither yet ready for service. Even farther away from military use are odder airplanes, such as the model 7002 Consolidated-Vultee Delta wing, which looks like a big bomber's tail with the rest of the bomber missing (see cut). So far, the Delta wing has had only its test flights...

Called the X-4, it is a batshaped little (20 ft. long) craft with two jet engines and broad, backswept wings (see cut). No entry in the supersonic sweepstakes, the X-4 was designed in the belief that subsonic speeds will still be the practical concern of aviation for many years. It will be used for research at speeds of about 650 m.p.h...

"I've challenged him on several occasions," Aiken declared, "but I've never been able to get an answer." Aiken claims Northrop's theory that the East and West can end their conflict by merging their ideologies is "naive and fantastic...
