"Can you imagine the reaction here and abroad if Yuri Andropov had made this speech?" Others were appalled at the enormous potential costs of a space race. Said Republican Senator Mark Hatfield of Oregon: "It is a call to siphon off the meager and inadequate commitment which now exists to rebuild America."

That was reflected in comparatively small numbers of journalists waiting for him at Downing Street. As McCain climbed into his car after the press conference there, a well-known political correspondent dusted herself down after her enforced sojourn on the tarmac at his feet...
