In somewhat the same spirit, Senator George Malone of Nevada (where legalized gambling is a big revenue-producer) waged a one-man fight against a bill prohibiting interstate shipment of slot machines. He had defeated the bill once last September with an eleven-hour, one-man filibuster, and he threatened to do so again last week.

...principle, the afterburner is as simple as ABC. The tailpipe of an ordinary turbojet engine is lengthened and inside its throat is placed a grid of hollow, perforated cross-pieces. When maximum power is needed, fuel is squirted into the stream of hot gas racing out of the tailpipe. There is plenty of heat to ignite it and plenty of oxygen to keep it alight. So a vast yellow flame bursts out of the pipe, and the plane gets a mighty shove forward...
