...carriers go into port and taking up the chase again when they come out. A fleet of espionage ships keeps watch off U.S. Polaris submarine bases at such places as Holy Loch in Scotland, Rota in Spain and Charleston, S.C. Other snoopers sit off Seattle, New England, and Cape Kennedy, where the Soviets monitor the U.S. space shots...
...Before Cape Kennedy technicians fire a space vehicle at the moon nowadays, much of its inner workings has been washed in distilled water. Southern California orchid growers give their plants water supplied by bottlers because the chlorinated stuff that comes out of taps wilts the delicate flowers. Across the U.S., the growing pollution of water supplies and the increasing sophistication of manufacturing processes have uncorked a surprising industrial market for companies whose traditional field is supplying bottled water for homes and office coolers...
...made into "the most extravagant lady's sport coat in the world, price no object." What might the coat cost? "Oh, maybe $20,000," said Liebes. Adds Alexander Ehrlich of Manhattan's Bergdorf Goodman, who was commissioned by Alaska to produce a sample, full-length cape to stimulate interest, went on to buy 30 pelts: "With all the couturiers looking for something new, this is the ideal time to introduce this fur. Now it's up to the women." And perhaps to the men as well. Ed Shepherd, in charge of Alaska's sea-otter trade...
...ELINT armada, made up mostly of converted trawlers and hydrographic craft, all bristling with antennas and sensitive snooping gear. Just as the Pueblo and her kin prowl the international waters off China, North Korea and the Soviet Union, Russian trawlers are stationed off California, South Carolina, Florida's Cape Kennedy, Guam and Alaska. A Soviet spy ship dogs every move of U.S. aircraft carriers on "Yankee Station," the 45,000-sq.-mi. area of the Tonkin Gulf from which American air strikes over North Viet Nam originate, flashing alerts to Hanoi. Other Russian ELINT ships shadow the U.S. Sixth...
...craft designed to carry men into the space age have had the clean-lined look of the Mercury and Gemini capsules. By comparison, the lunar module (LM) that lifted from Cape Kennedy last week was the ugliest of ducklings. Bulging and misshapen, bristling with squiggles of antennas, the LM seemed more the creation of scientists gone mad than a craft entrusted with Project Apollo's most crucial task: to land astronauts on the moon and lift them off again. But in a seven-hour test flight, LM last week performed like a full-fledged space swan...
