("Smiling Mike") Menshikov, but Mikoyan's obvious purpose in making the trip is to talk to top U.S. officials, possibly the President.

After a less-than-frantic first set, the Duke apologized: "The boys never played...
...experiment proved that men on earth will be able to talk to men in space vehicles of the future. Looking confidently ahead, Defense officials declare that even this huge achievement is "as primitive as a baby's first words." Future satellites will be able to carry far more intricate electronic gear, may provide many circuits for telephone and even television transmissions around the shrinking world...
