...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...
...Guiana coast to be rilled out with rows of launch cranes, quarters for technicians and a master command post. The French government has allotted an initial $60 million, and French agents are shopping in French-speaking Caribbean islands for 5,000 workers. Construction on what has already been nicknamed Cape de Gaulle is to start late next year, and France's first missile firings from South America are scheduled for early...
Albee has written a drama of the post-Christian mentality, but its only emotional vitality derives from Christian symbolism and experience. When Julian is shot, Miss Alice is wearing a dress and cape of blue, a color associated with Mary, the mother of Christ, and she cradles Julian in her arms in the agony of a Pietá.

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...
...contrary, TV takes care of the overhead and expands the budgetary possibilities for big films. In its short existence as a major producer, MCA has made an impressive number of profitable pictures. Father Goose, Gary Grant's new one, is doing well at Radio City Music Hall. Freud, Cape Fear, To Kill a Mockingbird, Pillow Talk, That Touch of Mink, Operation Petticoat, Spartacus, The Chalk Garden and Charade are all MCA-Universal movies too. The company's next major release will be Strange Bedfellows...
