...copper sulphate to kill the carrier snails has been ineffective. Some of the drugs now being used to treat the disease require painful injections. In 90% of cases, Ciba's Ambilhar pills cure the American and African forms within a week; tests on the Asian form are under way. Yet, as Ciba admits, even this potent drug cannot wipe out the disease because a cured patient who goes back into the rice fields may be reinfected within minutes...
...before his concept was tried, Conrey was killed in an aircraft-carrier landing accident. But now he has won post-mortem recognition. In a report on tests made at Mesa in 1964, the Navy has predicted "a definite and vital place in future aviation" for the circular runway...

The anxious watchers had a better view than ever. Cameras on the deck of the aircraft carrier Wasp, waiting in the Atlantic, got a special space-age lift. They relayed their pictures through the Early Bird communications satellite and brought the tense drama of splashdown into millions of homes and offices (it was 10:29 a.m.) with astonishing clarity...
Search planes catapulted off the carrier and helicopters flapped aloft while the world watched. Televiewers rode the windy flight deck as the Wasp raced to Gemini 6's landing point just under 14 miles away-the closest a Gemini capsule has yet come to its predicted impact point. Dense smoke from the capsule's marker bomb rolled heavily across the camera's field of view, and soon the capsule itself bobbed into range...

His superb piloting of the capsule, perfected in long hours of practice in the Houston docking simulator, and his nearly on-target splashdown near the carrier Wasp were reminiscent of his first space flight. In 1962 Schirra flew a near-perfect mission in the Mercury capsule Sigma 7, landing only four miles from the recovery carrier in the Pacific...
