...Myopic SAM. To Peking's claim that the dogfight took place over Chinese territory, the U.S. replied that the RB-66 was at least 50 miles south of China.

"Koufax is one of my idols," he explains, "and I'd hate to find out that I'm faster than he is. Of course, I'd hate to find out I'm slower too."
