...before they make their big move, the Russians are apparently trying to establish a good reliability record. So far they have launched four satellites capable, in size at least, of orbiting and landing a man. The first, launched last May, carried a man-sized dummy but did not bring it back to earth. Last August another satellite orbited two dogs and landed them alive and well. (A female, Strelka, has since had six puppies.) A December satellite carrying two dogs went into orbit, but the re-entry body burned up in the atmosphere. The fourth satellite, launched this month, carried...

He has served as Ambassador to Bonn, more recently...
According to an emergency plan, Greely, a veteran officer of the U.S. Signal Corps who had proved his endurance and skill during service in the American West, headed south in a steam launch and three smaller boats. The launch got wedged in the ice, two of the boats were abandoned, and the desperate men barely made it across the ice pack to Cape Sabine as winter and the polar night descended.
