...Establishment's influence has not disappeared, of course, but much of the Establishment has joined the swinging London atmosphere, encouraged by the likes of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones. Part of that atmosphere is the result of the simple friction of a young population on an old seasoned culture that has lost much of its drive. Youth is the word and the deed in London-and well it should be: nearly 30% of its population is in the 15-34 age bracket, far more than the rest of the country as a whole.

...star of The Collector and steady date of Model Jean Shrimpton; Actor Michael Caine, 33, the Mozart-loving spy in The Ipcress File; Hairdresser Sassoon, 38, whose cut can be seen both at Courreges in Paris and on Princess Meg; Ace Photographer David Bailey, 27, professional associate of Antony Armstrong-Jones; and Doug Haywood, 28, Chelsea's "in-nest" private tailor.

Had either or both those effects be come severe enough, the two astronauts would have been unable to see or operate their controls. They might well have perished...
...malfunction might have been even more serious had it occurred when Scott was taking his scheduled walk in space. Some experts believe that outside the spacecraft Scott would have quickly spotted the firing thruster and warned Armstrong in time for him to shut off its propellant. Others are convinced that the rolling Gemini would have whirled Scott around in space at the end of his 75-ft. tether, eventually slamming him against the spacecraft and probably causing fatal injuries...
