Slim and tall, the graceful gantries of Cape Kennedy's Missile Row loomed over a week of intense activity. First rocket off the pad was a giant Saturn, its eight-engined booster still the most powerful the U.S. has ever aimed at space. With deceptive ease it ignited, accelerated and climbed out of sight. A few minutes later, the second stage blasted into orbit. Sizable pieces, which are dummy Apollo parts, detached themselves and moved away, leaving a curious folded apparatus exposed to space. Slowly that great gadget expanded its accordion pleats and flattened into a shiny aluminum wing...

...Gemini program, which was designed to test the ability of astronauts to control a rendezvous of spaceships in orbit, had a difficult enough time even getting off the ground. But last week it passed an important milestone in the air. A Titan II rocket took off from Cape Kennedy and carried a 6,900-lb. Gemini capsule 99 miles high. No attempt was made to orbit; the capsule arched like a missile and plunged down at 16.600 m.p.h. toward a spot in the Atlantic 2,129 miles southeast of the Cape...
...fans in Cleveland's Municipal Stadium saw Lou ("The Toe") Groza boot a 43-yd. field goal, and suddenly the floodgates opened. Swinging wide to the left, Fullback Brown took a pitchout, cut back, and churned 46 yds. to the Baltimore 18. (Murmured one spectator: "Put a cape on him, and he's Superman.") Quarterback Ryan was a little nervous about calling the next play-a tricky "hook-post" pass to Flanker Gary Collins behind the goal posts. On the same play five times this season he had bounced the ball off the crossbar. This time...
