Signed by the author (Glenn) on half-title page. John Herschel Glenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016) was a United States Marine Corps aviator, engineer, astronaut, businessman and politician. He was the first American to orbit the Earth, circling it three times in 1962. Before joining NASA, Glenn was a distinguished fighter pilot in World War II, China and Korea. He shot down three MiG-15s, and was awarded six Distinguished Flying Crosses and eighteen Air Medals. In 1957, he made the first supersonic transcontinental flight across the United States. His on-board camera took the first continuous, panoramic photograph of the United States. He was one of the Mercury Seven, military test pilots selected in 1959 by NASA as the nation's first astronauts. On February 20, 1962, Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth, and the fifth person and third American in space. He received the NASA Distinguished Service Medal in 1962, the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, was inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1990, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. A member of the Democratic Party, Glenn was first elected to the Senate in 1974 and served for 24 years, until January 1999. In 1998, while still a sitting senator, Glenn flew on Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-95 mission, making him, at age 77, the oldest person to fly in space and the only person to fly in both the Mercury and the Space Shuttle programs.

Former owner's stamp has left an impression on flyleaf. Kefauver, who became famous through his attacks on organized crime, monopoly pricing, and drug company abuses, was born into a prosperous old Tennessee family, worked as a corporation lawyer during most of the '30's, and gained a House seat in 1939 as a New Dealer, firmly supporting TVA and Lend-Lease. Kefauver became the major antagonist of the Dixon-Yates move to abolish public power in the early 50's as well as an opponent of the McCarran Act. Kefauver's passion went into his anti-crime and anti-price fixing crusades, his battles with the Memphis-based Crump machine, his struggles with local racist-conservative challengers, and his 1952 and 1956 primary campaigns against Adlai Stevenson.
