...whenever she was around her husband, she seemed to revert to the old "me"-plastic Pat, with the frozen appearance and forced speech. "Maybe she should carry a wind machine around to tousle her hair," says Helene Drown, a longtime California friend who grows impatient with people who do not realize how warm and lively...

The helium inside the balloon's tough, eight-layer plastic skin provides enough lift to allow up to 4,000 lbs. of electronic gear to be packed into the gondola hanging from its underside. The equipment can receive and rebroadcast as many as four television channels, two commercial radio stations and the data from 5,000 to 10,000 microwave circuits. At present...
