British officials also suggested that Gordievsky was a much more important catch than KGB Officer Oleg Lyalin, whose 1971 defection led to the expulsion of 105 Soviets from Britain. Some experts even thought that Gordievsky might prove as valuable as Colonel Oleg Penkovsky, a highly productive spy in Britain's service who was snared by the Soviets and executed...
...April that the company was changing the secret formula of Coke, he proclaimed that "the best has been made even better." After public outrage forced Goizueta to bring back the original brew as Coca-Cola Classic in July, he still hoped that the sweeter taste of new Coke would catch on.

The story of the Hart campaign was not how he won the New Hampshire primary, but how he failed to take advantage of the electoral groundswell in his favor. The story of Alan Cranston's failure was not his ridiculous one-note (later two-note) campaign, but the utter lack...
