With that background, Cooper could not resist the temptation to trade his college R.O.T.C. commission for an Air Force lieutenant's bar in 1949. He flew F-84s and F-86s with a fighter-bomber group in Munich for four years, earned an aeronautical engineering degree at Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, qualified for the rugged test-pilot duty at the pioneering Edwards Air Force Base in California-home of the world's highest, fastest jet, the X-15. A few years before his selection as an astronaut, Cooper took a friendly flight with another...
...these conflicts, the force of world Communism operates in the twilight zone between political subversion and quasi-military action. Their military tactics are those of the sniper, the ambush and the raid. Their political tactics are terror, extortion and assassination. We must help the people of threatened nations to resist these tactics...

Nobody can, and the consumers then miss tragically the experience of these works as expressions of ultimate human possibilities, profoundly significant...
...would be able to use existing design techniques and metals. Just about everyone else, including the airframe makers, strongly favor a Mach 3. "We ought to do better," growls North American Aviation's Chairman Lee Atwood, "than just to build another Concorde." Since a Mach 3 jetliner, to resist heat at such speeds, would have to be built of stainless steel and titanium, it would take longer to make and would also require costly engineering for new engines. But its backers argue that a Mach 3 would be a radically new plane that would give the U.S. undisputed future...
