...same field over again. I have to spend my time just talking with people, one by one." Laying out his campaign, Chamberlain figures that he can meet and talk to some 200 voters a day and, allowing for 50 days of active campaigning from Labor Day to Election Day, reach 10,000 people...

With its soft. length and 22-ft. wingspan, the X-15 looks more like a missile than an airplane. A sophisticated descendant of the X-1 rocket plane in which Test Pilot "Chuck" Yeager first broke the sound barrier (TIME, June 21, 1948), it is expected to reach 3,600 m.p.h.-twice the speed of a high-powered rifle bullet. Since such speeds cannot be maintained in the lower atmosphere, the X-15 will be carried to 35,000 ft. by a B-52, will then climb to an altitude of 100 miles. Burning liquid ammonia and liquid oxygen...

In 1929 he made a third expedition...

To deplore debate and ignore criticism is to rise above the tests of rationality; it is to rule by fiat rather than by consent. The State Department is not to be run by Gallup Polls, of course, but to hold that any policy is altogether above the clash of political parties is to deny it democratic legitimation...
