October 3, 1957 - (on a secret telephone hotline)
Khruschchev: You being a good boy and holding back on space Travel Comrade Ike.
Ike: I am dragging our feet as long as possible Comrade Chairman.
Khrushchev: We still have those photos of you and those girls at the Soviet Embassy Party in London on VE Day.
Ike: You would not dare Nikita. I said I was doing all I could to delay America's entry in space. And anyway my experts assure me that the Soviet talk of progress in space is simply propaganda.
Khrushchev: Just turn on the radio tomorrow comrade. (a burst of laughter in the Soviet telephone background. )
(telephone hang up sound)
