...signal technique cannot be applied to existing radar systems. ORDIR's range is still secret, but it will "multiply" the present top range of radar, which can now pick out an airplane at 200-300 miles. In addition, ORDIR's high sensitivity is expected to track such rapid velocity objects as intercontinental missiles and earth satellites. Eventually, aircraft may be equipped with miniaturized ORDIR. But the system is still being developed and refined; no production contracts have been made...
Germany's present intellectual climate is compounded of three elements, Hollerer continued?

With rapid-fire changes, Soupy may become Wyatt Burp, the craven, belch-prone sheriff, or Calypso King Harry Bella, a wild-eyed, mop-domed South American who rolls drunks for a living...
