When the buzzer sounded, two pilots, bulky in their flying gear (pressure suit, parachute, oxygen mask, survival kit, maps), dashed toward two long, lean F-86D fighters. In two minutes they were surging down the runway with a crashing roar, and two more jets rolled into position for takeoff. Before their wheels were fully up, the lead pair were getting radio orders and a fix on the suspect plane. Interceptor pilots can open fire at will against any aircraft they believe to be hostile.

Of the three top Du Ponts named, only 77-year-old Irenee survived; Lammot died at 71 before the suit went to trial, and Pierre, 84, died last spring. The suit was costly both in money (an estimated $5,000,000 for the defense, including $750,000 in hotel bills alone) and in men: the defense required a battery...
