...small children, Sayle, 4, and Jody, 1. Such a beach would be hard to find in all of Europe. And more and more Americans are realizing that the U.S. has some natural advantages that can outmatch Europe's best. Europe, for example, has no stretch of shore that surpasses Cape Cod's Great Outer Beach with its soaring bluffs; no mountain lakes that are more breathtaking than those in Colorado or Wyoming; no more challenging golf courses than Pebble Beach and Pine Valley; no finer sailing than Cape Cod or the Maine Coast. Moreover, all the food is American...
...bumper along the oceanfront road sport out-of-state plates. Said one surf-farer, a Wethersfield, Conn., high school senior who is president of his town's surfing club: "We travel to a different place every weekend. Next week we'll probably go to East Orleans on Cape Cod" -135 miles away. Decked out in neoprene "wet suits," booties and mittens, diehards rode the waves through last winter as far north as Boston...
Before long, Eastern surfers may well outnumber those in the West. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the summer sea off Cape Cod is warmer than it is just north of Los Angeles, some 550 miles farther south.

Though U.S. hopes to close the rocket gap with the Soviet Union rode on the new Titan, the competition this time was not so much international as it was between solid rocket fuels and liquids...
...drogue chute eight feet in diameter billowed out to stabilize the spinning craft, and at 10,600 ft. the white-and-orange main chute, 84 ft. across, blossomed like a giant marigold to waft the 3.5-ton craft gently to sea. Some 390 miles east of Cape Kennedy and 53 miles from the waiting aircraft carrier Wasp, the capsule plopped into the Atlantic. McDivitt was disappointed that it was not a bull's-eye. "I wanted to land on the after-elevator of the Wasp," he said later. But he was obviously pleased to be back on earth. "Hooray...
