	The Big Apple: “First to Conquer Living Space” (Castro Convertibles)
		Bernard Castro, the man who "conquered space -- living space, that is" -- by inventing and selling more than 5 million Castro Convertible sofas, died yesterday at his estate in Ocala, Fla. He was 87 years old.
		Castro died of cardiac arrest, said his daughter, Bernadette, who became famous in New York as the little girl who opened the sofa with the "feather-lift mechanism" in commercials during the early days of television.
		Castro, an immigrant from Italy who never finished high school, was a genius not only at designing a piece of furniture vital to people in space-cramped apartments during the Depression, but at marketing his product.

		The technology underlying the unfolding sofa, that common and useful item of furniture, was invented by Bernard Castro.
		In the mid-1940s, Castro built an improved convertible couch which unfolded to become a bed with a strong but light metal frame; it featured a "featherlift" mechanism that made it much easier to operate.
		The Castro Convertibles company did quite well selling its unfolding furniture, thanks in part to another of Castro's technological insights.

	Fidel Castro Has Deathbed Conversion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Castro realized that the best thing that had ever happened to Cuba was the bed he was lying on—and it was a space-saving convertible sofa bed imported from New York in the mid-1950s.
		But the Castro Convertible Couch, which unfolded to become a bed with a strong but light metal frame, featured a featherlift mechanism that made it much easier to operate.
		Even as demonstrations celebrating the greatly exaggerated reports of Castro's demise continued in Miami, his conversion confounded his critics, deflating their joy at his impending death.
