...latest leader-victim was Amintore Fanfani, the party's first candidate lor President and a former Premier (1954, 1958-59, 1960-63).

During a visit to Huntsville, President Kennedy stood in embarrassed silence while Von Braun argued heatedly with Presidential Science Adviser Jerome Wiesner, the last important holdout against LOR. Pressed for a final decision, Kennedy overruled Wiesner in October 1962 and gave NASA permission to proceed with the design and construction of a lunar module...
