- President Reagan raised skeptical eyebrows back in 1986
- when he rhapsodized about plans to build the Orient Express, a
- hypersonic jet that could take off from a New York airport and
- reach Tokyo in two hours by taking a side trip into orbit. It
- turns out that while space fan DAN QUAYLE has doggedly pursued
- the plans -- with marginal success so far_the former Soviet
- Union had plowed ahead of the U.S. Soviet scientists
- successfully tested an engine for a space plane last year. The
- Pentagon might consider placing a few help-wanted ads in Yeltsin
- country.
