Negative Positive
Title: excellently researched...detail detail detail
Review: The author has spent many years searching for any reference no matter how small involving Sputnik. He links words like beatnik, vietnik, and refusenik to the influence of Sputnik. He even uncovers several songs and musicial groups that relate to the satellite. I loved the link to Machinegun Kelly's wife, very inventive. I felt that it was more a biography of the Nazi von Braun than of Eisenhower, the author wonderfully links von Braun to JFK. Just amazing how the littlest action connects.
