When he flew across the Atlantic after his stroke last year to attend the NATO heads-of-government conference, he even pondered who could legally take command of the country if his plane had to ditch in midocean, with nobody to say whether the President of the U.S. was alive or dead...

One night during the recent debate on postal-rate increases, Frank Carlson, in charge of the bill for the Republican Administration, had an important appointment in home-state Kansas. He asked Johnson if the Senate could meet early and leave early so that he could catch his plane. Johnson agreed. "Thanks," said Frank Carlson. "I won't forget that." He won't, either...

The first is the rocket plane X-15 (TIME, March 3), which Putt thinks can be beefed up enough to carry an orbiting human and return him to earth alive. The second is DYNA-SOAR (from "dynamic soaring"), a vehicle that will use what Putt calls "boost-glide flight." It will be boosted up like a rocket, but will have wings and controls. The pilot can permit it to orbit freely around the earth for a while, or he can bring...
