Whenever a newsman's question was calculated to put Nixon on the defensive, he adroitly turned it into an attack on Brown. Thus, there came a question about a $205,000 loan made in 1956 to Nixon's mother by the Hughes Tool Co.. a giant defense contractor.

No F-1 engine has been fired except on a test stand, and the J-2 hydrogen engine (also made by North American) is even farther from flight. None of this worries Holmes. Like most engineers, he is used to forecasting the technical future by figuring what can be accomplished with combinations and modifications of existing equipment. There is nothing in the C-5 Advanced Saturn...
