In 1945, A.W. Goodman and R.E. Goodman proved the following conjecture by P. Erdős: Given a family of (round) disks of radii $$r_1$$r1, $$\ldots$$…, $$r_n$$rn in the plane, it is always possible to cover them by a disk of radius $$R = \sum r_i$$R=∑ri, provided they cannot be separated into two subfamilies by a straight line disjoint from the disks. In this note we show that essentially the same idea may work for different analogues and generalizations of their result. In particular, we prove…

A Cap Covering Theorem
If there is no great circle non-intersecting caps of $\mathcal S$ and dividing the set of caps into two non-empty subsets, then there is a cap of radius equal to the total radius of caps of $S$ covering all caps of S provided that the totalradius is less $\pi/2$.

It is proved that if B is a non-separable family of balls of radii with respect to an arbitrary norm in Rd, then B can be covered by a ball of radius 1nri and the conjecture that their theorem extends to arbitrary non- separable finite families of positive homothetic convex bodies is proved.
