...left the Atlantic behind and began to cross Africa, Glenn set out to test his reactions to the eerie world of weightlessness. He gobbled some malt tablets and carefully squeezed a tube of applesauce into his mouth. He felt fine. Swallowing was no problem. "It's all positive action. Your tongue forces it back in the throat and you swallow normally. It's all a positive displacement machine all the way through." He shook his head violently to see if the motion would induce space sickness. Nothing happened. "I have had no ill effects at all from zero...
Perhaps the most successful job of muckraking was Upton Sinclair's searing novel, The Jungle, which contained among other things an indictment of the meatpacking industry that was grotesque but effective: "Here came also cattle which had been fed on 'whiskey-malt,' the refuse of the breweries, and had become what the men called 'steerly'-which means covered with boils that were full of matter.

Only 300 Canadians live in Cuba, and Canada's exports to the island in 1959 amounted to less than 1% of its total exports-mainly newsprint, medicine, steel, copper tubing, codfish, malt and chemicals. Even this small export business had dropped: from $17.5 million in 1958 to $15.2 million in 1959, with 1960's first half showing a sharp dip to $4,800,000 v. $7,400,000 for the same period in 1959. Exports of newsprint fell from $2,600,000 to $999,000, salt codfish from...
