Towed to about 1,000 ft. by powered aircraft, sailplaners strap on their oxygen masks and search the skies for "streets"-chains of puffy cumulus clouds marking the presence of thermals that may rise straight up from 5,000 ft. to 30,000 ft.. and can propel a lightweight glider upward at better than 1,000 ft. a minute...

He has a habit of falling backward when he makes a save. Jacques Plante...
Atomic batteries to power radio transmitters have already been used in U.S. space satellites, and an AEC project is developing a special reactor for use inside space vehicles (see SCIENCE).

Name him "He" or "The Man." Make him walk like a mechanical doll, and then propel this symbolic cipher through a life cycle from the cradle to the grave that seems to take almost as long to stage as it would to live through...
