...fighter designed to win local air superiority over the battlefield. Its weight is only about 14,000 Ibs. combat-loaded v. 18,000 for North American's F-86D, but it packs a hefty Curtiss-Wright J-65 engine, blasting out more than 7,200 Ibs. of thrust. The speed is secret. Officially, the Air Force will say only that the XF-104 is supersonic in level flight...
...performance. At the plate he is always a threat. In all pennant-hungry Cleveland, there is no happier sight than Al Rosen, firmly established in the batter's box. The ball steams in, his hips swing in a fast little shake, his left leg lifts for a quick thrust forward, and the big bat whips around. It has connected often enough to make him the league's second-ranking batsman, after his teammate Bobby Avila. (Average .340, 14 home runs, 55 runs batted in.)

Then security will cease to be a central issue . . . there will be no undue restraints upon freedom...
...long fuselage and short, 25-ft., batlike wings, only half the spread of the Skyraider. But the plane has the range and bombload (including the Abomb) to match most World War II medium bombers. The engine is a Wright J-65 turbojet (7,200 Ibs. of thrust), and though its speed is a tightly guarded secret, experts say it can outrace Russia's latest-model MIG interceptors, make its way home without escort...
When this issue was thrust into the center of the stage last week, the President got some support from the three Democratic Senators on the Mundt committee, none at all from the four members of his own party. Illinois' Dirksen, who was making mellifluous pro-Eisenhower noises a few months ago, is now revealed as McCarthy's staunch supporter on the committee: Idaho's Dworshak, who was publicly insulted by McCarthy a few weeks ago, has masticated his pride and does what Dirksen suggests; Michigan's Freshman Senator Potter seems adrift; Chairman Mundt, trying painfully...
