...cool beauty and grandeur of your June 4 Southern scenes and the captions describing what happened there should help outsiders see why we Southerners so easily let sentiment cloud our wrongheaded race thinking. The rightheaded thinking of my alma mater (Spring Hill College-noted in your Education section) is a source of deep pride-and a tangible sign that sentiment can be overcome.

Pilots of sound mind normally give tornadoes plenty of airspace. The tall clouds that spawn twisters are boiling with turbulence, and the black funnels themselves can tear an airplane to shreds. Pilot James M. Cook, 6 ft. 3 in. and slow-spoken, is thoroughly sane, but whenever a threatening cloud shows its face in the Middle West, he hops into his war-surplus Mustang at Kansas City and takes the cloud's pulse and temperature, even if it is crawling with vicious twisters...

The mushroom rose high above dark bands of natural clouds, showing traces of brown and small brilliant pinpoints of light, tinctured cerise and pink by the dawn. Ten minutes later the cloud towered 80,000 to 90,000 ft. above the sea. In five more minutes it stood 100,000 ft. up. Flattening out, its spread covered 100 miles. Winds bore the fallout far from inhabited land, away across the empty ocean...
