[FPSPACE] spirited debate on alleged inaccuracies in 'Rocket Men'

[James Oberg]

I've found the correct citation of Ryumin's 'murder recipe' quote:

Pioneering Space,
by James and Alcestis Oberg,
McGraw-Hill, 1986
pp. 139-140

"As he rode the bus to the launch pad, Valeriy Ryumin mused: 'O'Henry, the
American writer, wrote in one of his stories that if you want to encourage
the craft of murder, all you have to do is lock up two men for two months in 
an 18 X 35 foot room."

As I recall, we found those words in a translation of his diary.
