...rebellious state. Though Biafra hired a Hollywood public relations man to organize the trip, TIME Correspondent Friedel Ungeheuer, who went along, learned enough on his own by moving around the country, talking with Biafrans and Europeans and interviewing Biafra's leader, Lieut. Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, to reach a few surprising conclusions.

As a result, a powerful electrical field was projected in front of the models, ionizing the air or liquid molecules ahead of them. Before the charged particles could reach the model, its own electrical charge repulsed them, shoving them out of the way of the model's leading edge. Projected from the leading surfaces of an SST, the scientists hope, a larger and more powerful electrical field will have the same effect, thus preventing or reducing the formation...
