...beyond anything that men had yet experienced in space. On Feb. 21, the capsule was to be fired off the ground by a Saturn 1-B rocket to go into orbit for as long as Grissom, White and Chaffee could take it, an "open-end" mission that marked a bold departure from the rigidly limited space flights of the past. It was to be essentially an engineering flight, a manned shakedown for the Apollo systems, which had already twice been fired aloft without anyone aboard. If things went well, Apollo 204 would lead to two other manned flights later this...

The United Church of Christ will hear the findings of a two-year study at its General Synod in June, and the Episcopal Church last year launched a major investigation of its seminary education.

...artists from Prud'hon to Daumier. The book includes three drawings by Novelist Victor Hugo, who painted as fast and furiously as he wrote- leaving behind about 450 pictures when he died. Hugo's riverscape is delicate and brooding, his ample nude is created with a few bold strokes. Other subjects range from classical to genre, and, typically, the plates begin with a love scene and end with a disputation between doctors as death steals away with their patient...
