Translated, the taped squiggles showed that the jet, bound for New York's Idlewild terminal from Chicago, made a steep descent from 14,000 to 5,000 ft. as it approached the Preston holding area in New Jersey (see map), sped through Preston on instruments at speeds as high as 360 knots (v. standard jet holding speed of 220 knots). At that speed, it closed the distance between Preston and the instrument traffic approach for La Guardia Airport in i min., 51 sec. And at that speed, at an altitude...

Outwardly, as Kennedy sped swift as the hungry hummingbird through more than a dozen states, he showed no concern over the religion question (though he was prepared, if necessary, to go on TV to outline again his church-state philosophy). But his awareness of Ike's impact was implicit in a series of Kennedy shotgun blasts from rostrums everywhere. To counteract the spread of the President's warnings that a Democratic victory would bring a new wave of inflation, Kennedy issued a formal statement in Philadelphia promising "reasonable price stability" and pledging not to devalue...
