It got a slightly larger fin (which will be standard on new production models) to keep it from yawing in thin air, and the intake duct was modified.

Having tasted free enterprise, they are determined to sit down to the entire meal. The position of the U.S. was never stronger. But it would have to keep on exercising its leadership. FRB's Martin puts it flatly: "The U.S. faces the '60s with the world by the tail, with every opportunity to be a leader, provided that it is willing to engage in sound practices...
