    1989. Rollout of the futurist concept study for the high-speed Utah 8 two-wheeler in Berne, Switzerland. This motorcycle was specially created for an attempt at the world land record held by Utah legend Don Vesco (518 km/h). Colani intended to then go for the absolute world record of 659 km/h for wheel-based vehicles – held by Bob Summer driving his “Goldenrod” and dating from 1965. The high-speed vehicles amount to the climax of his ingenious focus on this type of formal solution.

    Colani’s Mazda Prototype

    Colani exhibition in Karlsruhe, southern Germany
    In front: 1983. Flying object for the road. With his prototype for Mazda, Colani took the principle of wing cars to the extreme. The plan was, at a later stage, to use a 4-chamber Mazda Wankel rotary engine, capable of between 960 and 1400 hp for the Le Mans vehicle, which was only available as a life-size model,. The wing shape was meant to enable this veritable powerhouse to accelerate to speeds of 350-380 km/h. www.bangertinternational.de/colani/images/images.php

    Following up the R. T. Smith photo of Flying Tigers P-40s over China, here is the cover of my history of the American Volunteer Group, published last fall by HarperCollins. The cover photo was taken by George Rodger for Life, though it wasn’t published in the magazine. From left to right: Jack Newkirk, Hank Geselbracht, Bob Layher, Bill Bartling, and Jim Howard at Rangoon in January or February 1942.

    The Legend of Barack Obama

    The Legend of Barack Obama
    In logging camps throught the United States, a tall tale is beginning to spread.
    I heard his father came over here on a rowboat using just one arm! He used the other to salute the flag the entire trip.
    When Barack was just a boy, he made his classmates weep with his hopeful and rousing recitation of the alphabet.
    “A, B, C, and D together with E, F, and G can bring us closer to H…”
    I once saw him plug every loophole in the Illinois tax code using just his fingers and toes!
    Don’t forget his trusty sidekick, Freedom, the talking bald eagle that lays eggs filled with love!

    Basically outlines my belief in Barack Obama.
