Reaching. The networks kept laboring to find fresh perspectives-sometimes finding them and at other times simply reaching too far. NBC, via satellite hookup, carried a prayer of hope (in shaky English) from Pope Paul, and later interviewed Sirhan Sirhan's father in Jordan. All three networks, using a pool helicopter, followed the Kennedy cortege from Good Samaritan Hospital down the freeways to Los Angeles International Airport...
...some handsome consolation prizes. Kosygin agreed to bankroll Pakistan's first steel mill, a $100 million project in Kalabagh with a capacity of up to a million tons a year. He also offered to provide help on a nuclear power plant at Ruppur in East Pakistan, a radio hookup between Pakistan and Russia, and a fishery development.

The spacecraft that were hooked together were of the Soyuz type, each with a capacity of from three to six men.

Four or five of them, linked up like spokes of a wheel, could serve as an assembly plant for a manned lunar vehicle...

Determined to show that the U.S. means business, the Planning Committee endorsed McNamara's suggestion for a limited call-up of air units, and decided to take the matter to the United Nations. Johnson also appeared on a nationwide TV hookup to explain the Reserve mobilization-as had Kennedy when he called up the Reserves for the 1961 Berlin confrontation and the 1962 Cuban missile crisis. In a somber three-minute talk delivered hurriedly and rather flatly, he pledged that "we shall continue to use every means available to find a prompt and peaceful solution." But he also...
