Gorging himself contentedly on fat food offerings from the poverty-ridden villagers, Raghubaranand repaid the kindness with a never-ending stream of spiritual advice, giving his time generously in private audiences to the village women when their husbands were off at work in the cane fields.

Near the base of the stratosphere, 35,000 to 40,000 ft. above the earth, the jet stream offers free west-east transportation to airplanes that can find it and stay in it.

Their object: a thorough hangar check for heart disease. Since 1950, more than 50 middle-aged Air Force executives-from the Secretary down-have undergone regular scrutiny by a team of Air Force specialists under Colonel Marshall E. Groover.
