Graham must be sure that he has the backing of the top Protestant churches in the area, as well as the support of business and civic leaders.

In everyday use, the "partial" suit is worn with a pressurized crash helmet, and the two are hooked together to give an almost full pressure suit, still leaving the hands free. But this rig will not give as much protection against...
