...times, the Soviets carried the space gamesmansinp a mite too far for NASA's taste. For example, the fat, 204-page press kit released by the Russians contained some surprises for U.S. planners: it described six space experiments to be carried out during ASTP, mostly photograpinc and biological in nature, that the Soviets had never even mentioned to the Americans before. The U.S. had faithfully advised their Soviet counterparts of all 21 planned American experiments months in advance.

However, simply by recapturing the nation's second most populous state from the G.O.P., he has become a powerful figure in Democratic national politics...
While Gilligan is a mite arrogant and precious, Rhodes is boisterous and backslapping on the stump. But if he puts voters at ease, he avoids the press like a rare disease, convinced that reporters are out to get him. The liberal Gilligan has been opulently financed by organized labor, the conservative Rhodes has had to make do with small contributions. It may be close, but Gilligan is ahead by 10 points or more...
