...Saturn 1-B rocket lifted from its launch pad into the air above Cape Canaveral, Fla., and remained visible for miles downrange last week as it carried three rookie astronauts toward their rendezvous with the Skylab space station orbiting some 270 miles above the earth. The third and final Skylab mission was launched. The unprecedented stay in space may last as long as 84 days and will encompass the Skylab project's most ambitious undertakings...
Just as surfers roam the world in search of the perfect wave, glider people seek the perfect updraft-a magical surge of rising air that bestows a feeling of buoyant freedom. Thousands of Americans, from the mountainsides of Hawaii to the dunes of Cape Hatteras, are yielding to what Richard Bach calls "the real Jonathan Livingston Seagull who lives within...

Still another unmanned spacecraft, Mariner 10, is speeding toward a flyby of Venus...
...kinky story in which one can attend a Black Mass with a man in a human-skin cape, be privy to a grave robbing or pornographic home movie co-starring a U.S. Vice President, and (perhaps most obscene of all) listen to the tape of a Roman Catholic's bugged confession. Yet behind such lubricious props, The Alchemist is a brisk, semi-tough study of power and love, the intoxications of public life and non-negotiable private satisfactions...
