It urged all Republicans to "reject membership in any radical or extremist organization, including any which attempts to use the Republican Party for its own ends or any which seeks to undermine the basic principles of American freedom and constitutional government...
...NASA scientists had determined the proper time of Gemini 6's launch by the position and orbit of Gemini 7. Because the earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, while Gemini 7 was circling around it once every 96 minutes, there were only one or two brief periods a day when the launch pad for Gemini 6 was located approximately under Gemini 7's orbit and when the orbiting ship was close by-the proper launch "window" for a rendezvous attempt. For Wednesday, ideal launch time had been calculated at 26 seconds after...
