...public reception atop Lenin's Tomb in Red Square, six-year-old pig-tailed Natasha Popovich stood at her father's side and happily waved at the 80,000 people jammed in the square below. Then it was time for speeches; sure enough, the Russians could not resist the chance to turn space prowess into political profit. "The group flight in outer space is one more vivid proof of the superiority of socialism over capitalism," said Nikolayev, or "Falcon," as he called himself during his globe-circling orbits. Added Popovich. whose orbital name was "Golden Eagle": "Across...
Message from Maine. The Kremlin could not resist using the new space flights to make some propaganda, asked the U.S. to refrain from nuclear tests that might endanger the cosmonauts. The U.S., which had scheduled no tests anyway, quickly reassured the Russians. From his weekend retreat in Boothbay Harbor, Me., President Kennedy saluted Russia's "exceptional" feat, as well as the "courage of the two astronauts." said: "The American people wish them a safe return."

The papers simply refused to cave in. In dealing with the holdout Teamsters, the Star and Tribune proved just as stubborn as Hoffa...
Strong Drinks. Though beer went into cans without trouble, it took years of research to find inside coatings that would resist the acids in soft drinks, (In early trials, grape soda came out of the can a nauseous white.) Once the problems were licked, the steel companies and canmakers spared no expense to publicize some advantages that cans have over bottles, i.e., they are unbreakable, lighter (and hence cheaper to ship), and do not have to be returned. To persuade soft-drink manufacturers that their ads ought to feature happy citizens swigging their soda pop from cans, both American...
