He was right: when Nixon spoke from the same platform next day, it rained again, though not until near the end of the speech (South Dakota is traditionally Republican territory).

...forecast severe CAT, George studies weather data in search of above-and-below air layers that are being dragged violently past each other by the jet stream. He draws on a map the area where this vertical shearing is sufficiently intense. Then he scans the data a second time to see if any air masses on the same level are moving rapidly past each other. If this is the case, he marks another area on his map (see diagram). If the areas overlap, the overlap has the two necessary kinds of violent shear. It is therefore apt to be full...
Thermoelectrics-the use of electricity in metal to produce heat and cold with no moving parts-will make possible a combined refrigerator and cooking element. The union of thermoelectrics and electroluminescence promises wall panels that automatically heat or cool, change colors and brightness to suit the mood and weather of the day. Windows will automatically close at the first drop of rain, reopen when the sun comes out. Throw-away plastic dishes will be made in every kitchen at the touch of a button...
