...their craft toward each other in space. Cleveland's Sohio tracking station said that from its calculations Vostok III and Vostok IV were within a mile of each other at one point, then drifted nearly 2,000 miles apart. "We're convinced that if they had the proper equipment they could have touched," says the station's supervisor. If they did indeed maneuver so close together, the cosmonauts may well have picked up valuable data on rates of closure and relative velocities that will be needed for actual docking in space some time later...

...colored folk" in town. If Negro housing threatens the health of all of Chestertown's citizens, for example, it is still up to the Negro to improve his conditions: "You have your own grey ladies at the hospital. Why can't they do something to teach your people proper hygiene?" It is useless to argue with this sort of statement. Not even the most liberal white leader can imagine a time when he will have to consider the Negro as a member of the real world...
