Neither agency will bow to the other's choice for the sake of having a single symbol. Meantime, a Ford Motor Co. designer named Elwood Engel argues for eliminating both Johnny and Woodsy. His proposed substitute: Ollie and Polly, "the oxygen molecules with the message...
...antennas (up to 3,500 ft.). Then, aiming his twin instruments at two particularly powerful sources of radio energy, the galaxies M82 and NGC 253, * he quickly found what he was looking for: the characteristic signature of hydroxyl radicals, simple molecules composed of a single hydrogen and a single oxygen atom...
...atmosphere system, or even a rapid drop in cabin pressure. Such theories got support from some unconfirmed reports that all radio transmissions-not only voice but also telemetry signals-stopped at the end of the braking maneuver. In fact, most speculation centered on a failure in the oxygen supply. That was based largely on the Moscow rumor that the recovery team had noted serene expressions on the faces of the cosmonauts. Such apparent composure is characteristic of hypoxia, a lack of oxygen that can lead to quick and relatively painless death...
...their spacecraft properly." The Evening News' Moscow correspondent, Victor Louis (a Soviet citizen often suspected of being a Russian agent), wrote that "human error and mechanical failure between them caused creeping depressurization in the spacemen's nine-foot cabin and deprived the astronauts of life-supporting oxygen on the final phase of their journey." During the turbulent re-entry of Soyuz, Louis said, the spacecraft's hatchway opened enough so that the oxygen supply escaped into space...
...were introduced by Wilkinson Sword, a British firm that few Americans had heard of; dry copiers were invented by an obscure company then called Haloid Xerox; the picture-in-a-minute camera was developed by Polaroid, a firm with no prior experience in photography. Similarly, the fast, low-cost oxygen steelmaking process was first tried in the U.S. by the relatively small McLouth Steel Corp. in the mid-1950s. A decade passed before U.S. Steel and Bethlehem Steel, which had enormous plants devoted to the old open-hearth process, used the new method on any large scale...
