He has squeezed some 163,000 hands, withstood 15 solid hours of more-or-less random questions from telethon viewers. He has livened his rallies with glamorous girls, organized everything from "Giant Fans for Nixon" to "Veterinarians for Nixon"-headed by the vet who cares for his dog Checkers...

The effort flopped, but curious scientists found that intricate images could be easily etched on the new glass with acid. Now it serves in miniaturized printed circuits for missile systems. With such attention to the laboratory, Corning has built a file of 100,000 different formulas...
