...Myth of Analysis, who began as a follower of Carl Jung, but goes far beyond him in the variety of archetypes he finds in people. "The"soul serves in its time many gods," Hillman says, and approvingly sees his patients playing out one by one the roles of Athena, Apollo, Asclepius, Eros and dozens of others...
...last for years. If all goes well, Astronauts Gerald Carr, William Pogue and Edward Gibson will have traveled 34½ million miles in their 1,214 revolutions around the earth, made four long space walks and watched the sun rise and set more than 1,300 times. In their Apollo ferry ship, they will be carrying 900 lbs. of scientific experiments, thousands of pictures of the earth, sun and that elusive visitor to the solar system, the comet Kohoutek. Magnetic tapes holding scientific data about the earth alone could stretch for 19 miles...
...Japan Lefthanders League, which seeks to boost the self-esteem of long-suffering southpaws [Jan. 7], will find comfort in an astonishing fact that I noted while working on a book about the Apollo moon-landing program. Of the 29 astronauts who flew the Apollo missions, no fewer than seven are lefthanded: Walter Schirra, Donn Eisele, James Lovell, Michael Collins, Richard Gordon. Edgar Mitchell and Charles Duke...
Died. Gerard Peter Kuiper, 68, astronomer and director of the unmanned Ranger lunar photographic missions that helped pinpoint landing sites for the Apollo moon shots; of a heart attack; in Mexico City. As a director of the University of Chicago's Yerkes Observatory, he made a number of important discoveries, including satellites of both Uranus (1948) and Neptune (1949). When, in the early 1960s, other scientists were concerned that a spacecraft landing on the moon would sink in an ocean of dust, Kuiper correctly described the lunar surface as resembling "crunchy snow...
...space officials had every reason to be equally pleased. The Soyuz spacecraft, extensively modified since the hatch failure that caused the 1971 accident, will be used by the Russians in their proposed 1975 linkup with a U.S. Apollo spaceship. (U.S. astronauts who will participate in that flight recently completed a two-week stint at Star City, the Soviet cosmonaut training center outside Moscow, where they demonstrated their skills on Soyuz simulators.) Thus NASA wants every possible assurance that Soviet engineers have eliminated all Soyuz design bugs. Indeed, Western observers, noting that the Soviets had said that the main purpose...
