Severest test of the drug's powers was made by Houston's Dr. John Kinross-Wright on state prisoners at Huntsville, Texas. Patients treated there, he reported, were "classical psychopathic personalities with lifelong histories of antisocial behavior." In the penitentiary they were mutilating themselves, setting fires and starting fights. On Librium most of them became "placid and alert, despite their tension-provoking environment...
Monroney campaigned to reorient MATS not only to stop it from muscling in on the airlines but to improve its damaged military effectiveness. He charged that obsolescence had all but crippled MATS' 455-plane air fleet; two months ago MATS was forced to ground all its Wright Turbo Compound-powered Constellations because of maintenance problems, and it has kept its C124 Globe-masters in service only by cannibalizing disabled ships.

Sensitive Nevil played hooky, haunting the London Science Museum with its glass-encased models of the pioneering planes of Blériot and the Wright brothers. At the end of World War I, he entered Oxford as an engineering major. Young Norway was an indifferent student but a line engineer; in 1923 the fledgling aircraft firm of de Havilland signed him on as a junior designer at ?5 a week. The same year he soloed...
