...father, Richard R. Riss, 54, who founded the family-owned corporation in 1930, got out of the presidency in 1950 to turn to other pursuits (real estate, cigar business, oil leases). University of Kansas-educated Bob Riss, who once said candidly, "It's much easier to climb the ladder of success if your father owns the ladder," took over the presidency at 23, decided to withdraw after his self-made, hard-driving father began stepping back in to make more and more of the decisions; he will remain as a director and substantial stockholder.

In the eyes of out-front rocket men, the ballistic missiles that dominate today's military dreams are pretty crude jobs, outmoded even before they are built. Since they follow elliptical courses through space, they must climb more than 1,000 miles to reach a respectable horizontal range. The climb costs vast amounts of fuel, making the missiles expensive and unwieldy. The curve of re-entry is simple and predictable. If the missile's motion is plotted by the enemy during any part of its flight...
...danger of such confrontation can be reduced by evasive maneuvers at hypervelocity. Instead of bulling its way to its target like a crude ICBM, a hyperspeed missile will either skip or glide. If it skips, it will climb into space about half as high as a ballistic missile of the same range. Instead of plunging down to earth, it will skip off the top of the atmosphere like a flat stone off the surface of a pond. By doing this several times, if necessary, it can reach a distant target over an unpredictable course. The glide missile is simpler...
