Sputnik and I have almost the same birthday. The space age dawned
the week after I was born. My mother says she showed my older
brother and me Sputnik when it was just a tiny speck of light in
the evening sky above San Francisco. I also share my birth year with
Dr. Seuss’s Grinch and the Cat in the Hat.
