...Grissom's lost space capsule still looks pretty good after almost 38 years in the drink, thanks to its titanium-aluminum construction. It sits upright on a sandy knoll three miles deep, its window and parachute liner still intact and its periscope still extended. The words "Liberty Bell 7" and a fake crack painted on its side are still clearly visible. Even the singe marks left by the explosives that blew off that infamous hatch door are visible on the video sent back by a remote-control submersible...

In the past two years, he has pulled PepsiCo out of the restaurant business, jettisoning fast-food chains, including Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken, which had combined sales of $11 billion. The profits were tasty, but the capital required to build restaurants was giving Pepsi heartburn. Last month the company spun off its main $7 billion bottling operation into an independent public company, something Coke did years ago to create Coca-Cola Enterprises. The soda business actually has two components, the first of which, making and marketing...
