Times Managing Editor Frank McCulloch: "I know it looks bad, but I'll swear on a stack of Bibles it's a sheer coincidence...
...matter what company wins the contract (which may well be the last really large award in the fading manned-fighter-plane business), the new plane will be based on the brilliant research directed by Aerodynamicist John Stack at the Langley Research Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.* It is a solution to problems that have expanded as planes have improved...
...Stack and his group started all over again. They finally designed an odd-looking airplane with unusually wide, thick fixed wing roots. Only the outer segment of the wing is movable. On take-off the wingtips are extended, and since they, too, are fairly thick, they give plenty of lift, allowing the plane to take off at slow speeds. As speed increases, the wingtips are slanted farther and farther backward...
Fast Finish? So far, Stack's models have been tested only in wind tunnels, but they already look singularly promising. A plane built in this manner should be able to take off slowly after a short run, then fold its wings to fight at supersonic velocity. In addition, it will be able to loiter for long periods at slow, fuel-saving speed before accelerating into action. It will also be able to fold its wings and fly extremely fast just above the ground, where air resistance is high but where enemy radars cannot find it. If it lives...
...friend: a shy young homosexual (Murray Melvin), who needs to give what she needs to receive: mother love. He moves into her flat and briskly "takes' her in 'and."
