...cheering crowd of 45,000 stretched to the eye's limit. There beside him stood Atlanta's grey-thatched Mayor William B. Hartsfield. Democratic to the core but proclaiming the need for a Southern two-party system because "we want to be part of the main stream of American life." Following the mayor came Georgia Democrat James V. Carmichael, who once got more popular votes than Gene Talmadge in a race for Governor (but was defeated by the county unit system). "It's not in the script," said Carmichael, "but I'm going to be honored...

Over Argentina, it showed clouds that traced the location of the high-altitude jet stream of the Southern Hemisphere. Meteorologists were surprised to learn from Tiros I that great, swirling cyclonic systems thousands of miles apart are sometimes connected by filaments of cloud...
Fairchild is a prodigious reader who subscribes to more than 200 technical and general publications, tears out articles, jots notations on them and shoots them off to officials of his companies. He dictates a steady stream of letters (about 80 over a normal weekend) into tape recorders scattered through the house, has them typed by secretaries working in two shifts in a basement office...
