...Lindsay trudged through the unplowed streets of snowbound Queens absorbing the taunts of angry householders. "Just try to get elected again!" yelled one woman. Trying to do just that, Lindsay last week returned to the same territory in a strange, triumphal procession. Surrounded by an honor guard of garbagemen aboard new snowplows, Lindsay soothed housewives with promises that they would never be snowbound again. The natives, while still skeptical, were nevertheless far friendlier than they had been last winter -and even friendlier than only a few weeks...
Bloody Words. Norman Barrymaine, 69, was also alone last Christmas. For him, the Kafkaesque nightmare began on a cold day in February 1968, shortly after the North Korean capture of the Pueblo. Barrymaine had gone to North Korea aboard a Polish freighter to cover the Pueblo story, but was denied permission to go ashore.

When he snapped torpedo boats in the Shanghai river...
After two months in orbit 300 miles above the earth, an automatic telescope designed and assembled at the Harvard College Observatory is working perfectly. The ultra-violet light experiment aboard Orbiting Solar Observatory VI (OSO-VI) "is meeting 100 per cent of our expectations," said William H. Parkinson, lecturer on Astronomy and co-director of the project. "We've got a winner...
...satellites carried Harvard telescopes similar to this one. But the first telescope aboard OSO-II failed only seconds after being switched on, and a surge of electric power from a faulty transformer ruined the telescope on OSO-IV after six weeks of operation. However, the data from those six weeks has kept astronomers here more than busy for two years...
...representative of the nation's airlines, would like to install the system (estimated cost: $24,000 to $50,000 per unit) aboard all commercial aircraft by 1974. But there is one serious drawback. Unless CAS is also carried by private planes, it will not prevent such collisions as the one between a big passenger jet and a small private plane near Indianapolis last month that killed 83 people. Many aviation men feel that the only long-range protection against more aerial tragedies lies in an all-encompassing, new air-traffic control system that would keep tabs on every plane...
