Backfire bombers, reputed to be the Soviets' most capable air-to-surface missile carriers, were detected in larger numbers, and farther from their land bases, than ever before...

They are actually stools with a seat and a padded knee rest sloped in a way that forces the user to have proper posture. One Chicago distributor expects to sell 15,000 of the chairs this year, up from less than 1,000 in 1979.
