...Post's story began developing into a most remarkable political tornado. Press services picked it up and spread it across the U.S., where at first it got a treatment indicating editors were only mildly interested. In northern California, reporters interrupted Nixon's first big whistle-stop tour to ask if the fund existed. He said it did.

Instead of swinging open, they slide into the plane like overhead garage doors. The falling bombs hit a smoothly flowing airstream instead of the uneven eddies stirred up by the old-style doors. Even above 500 m.p.h., all the bombs fall alike, a necessity for good marksmanship...
