Sixty years ago, on November 3, 1957, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics placed a little dog named Laika into space orbit.

The accomplishment, while impressive, came at a very high cost, one that was almost certainly not worth paying.
The Thomas K. Wolfe who appears on page 114 is the same Tom Wolfe who turned up in our October issue with the article on Cassius Clay ; the change in name was established to clear up, a generation from now, any possible confusion as to which Wolfe wrote Look Homeward, Angel. Our Mr. Wolfe is a New York journalist on the staff of the New York Herald Tribune who was born in Richmond, Virginia.
