Prestige for unnumbered years will go automatically to the nation that is successful in reaching the moon and making it a steppingstone to further space exploration.

...into the old Group Theater, was on his way up, and starred memorably in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, before he was named in a congressional investigation as a former Communist. Cobb publicly denounced Communism, testified about other Red actors, and was given a meaty part in On the Waterfront by Elia Kazan, who had something of Cobb's history. Once again Lee Cobb was on top until a heart attack in 1955. Since then, he has regained his stature as Hollywood's No. 1 sin-ridden heavy. In I, Don Quixote, Actor Cobb, brilliantly...
