"SPUTNIK" AND A BLACK MAN DISCOVERER
LLOYD RIDDICK, "SPUTNICK" DISCOVERER. BLACK MAN.
"Among the wall-to-wall patients in Hackensack was Lloyd Riddick of Teaneck, who turns 75 on Friday.
A retired IBM salesman and a former radio intercept operator who was the first person outside the Iron Curtain to capture Sputnik's signal, Riddick takes things seriously.
So yesterday he came for the News PSA test, the third such exam he took this year."
