Like a gas station attendant, he checked the spacecraft's thrusters, wiped its windshield. Ordered to get back into the capsule, he protested like a scolded kid. "I'm doing great," he said. "It's fun. I'm not coming in." When, after 20 minutes of space gymnastics, U.S. Astronaut Edward Higgins White II, 34, finally did agree to squeeze himself...
...just the month since it was introduced with unprecedented hoopla as Esso's first all-Europe promotional campaign, the drive has spread to 14 countries, leaving a trail of 1,000,000 tiger tails and such gimmickry as tiger T-shirts, balloons, pencils, coloring books, key rings, windshield decals and jigsaw puzzles...
