Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin cut short a trip to Canada, flew back to Moscow to be on hand to greet Titov. Western scientists and technicians went about the business of tracking Titov's progress with understandable lack of enthusiasm. "It makes me sick to my stomach," growled one U.S. Air Force officer...

...about him. Yuri invariably handled them with all the charm and poise of a professional diplomat (unlike Britain's protocol department, which was put into such a blue funk by Yuri's uninvited, unofficial visit that it sent only a minor civil servant to the airport to greet him). At a press conference in the Trade Fair's fashion hall, so many Yuri fans crashed in that Fleet Street newshawks, among the world's most agile and aggressive, barely got in any professional questions. Instead, Yuri tactfully fielded such inane queries as whether he has nightmares...
