Just five days after he landed at Peshawar, Powers got the go-ahead and took off. Friendly radars tracked him as far as they could across the Soviet frontier; then a U.S. radio watch tuned in on Soviet defense frequencies. The chatter of frustrated Russians was familiar and reassuring to the U.S. monitors as the intruder was passed from one Russian military zone to another. U-2 penetrations were no secret to the Soviets; Powers and other pilots had made them often during the past four years. The Russians had fired rockets, but the rockets had fallen short at some...
Twenty-four hours after he arrived, Castro León quit San Cristóbal, leaving the radio to chatter his taped call to greatness. Air Force planes flying overhead to attack were called off moments before they could fire a shot.

He kept up a steady stream of American-style pepper talk until he learned that tradition allows only the captain to chatter encouragement. On defense, his jarring, head-on football tackles flattened any opposing player he seemed to suspect of having the ball, having had it, or about to get it, but he let the play get away time and again. Sniffed the Oxford Mail: "The subtleties of positioning have escaped...
