Veteran Belgian Driver Olivier Gen-debein even managed to get his foot jammed between brake pedal and accelerator on his little Emeryson speedster, shot off the road at high speed and wound up in a hay bale.

...vice president of General Dynamics' Atlas-making Convair division. To an audience of 40 junketeering newsmen and Air Force brass, Lanphier in one evening 1) gave a hard sell for the Atlas, whose capabilities even the President has highly praised: 2) pushed an obvious soft pedal for the Martin Co.'s competing Titan; 3) upbraided the press for not paying more heed to the U.S. defense crisis; and 4) attacked the President for gambling with the nation's survival...
