...Nixon was not only sick, but woozy from the flood of antibiotics. Dr. Todd began shooting him full of vitamins, but Nixon was still able to deliver only 16 minutes of his Oklahoma City speech. Filling in briefly for him after that was his wife and campaign companion, Pat Nixon, who made up in charm what her talk lacked in high-flown political oratory.

Where most U.S. planemakers just build the air frame, then fit on whatever armament, radar, etc. that the Air Force orders, Convair's B58 is the first U.S. aircraft to be built under the new "weapons-system" concept, where the prime contractor is responsible for everything (except engines). On a plane as complex as the Hustler, the new system can save...
