...first U.S. astronaut will be spun into orbit around earth. NASA announced that the U.S. learned enough from its first two manned suborbital flights by Astronauts Alan Shepard and "Gus" Grissom (plus, presumably, the limited reports of the U.S.S.R.'s orbiting Cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and Gherman Titov) to cancel a third planned suborbital ride. Thus only two apparent steps still remain before manned orbit: successfully launching an unmanned but human-dummied Mercury capsule into orbit (possibly this week), then orbiting a chimpanzee. The speedup could put an astronaut into orbit late this year...

One of the first to go was Secret Police Chief General Teymour Bakhtiar, 48, who had built himself an ostentatious mansion near the Shah's own palace. Then there was General Ali Kia, 53, chief of army intelligence, who built a block of luxury apartments that Teheranis had taken to calling the Where-Did-You-Get-It-From Building. Purged also was Minister of the Interior...
