Saturday Night at the Movies (NBC, 9-11 p.m.). Gary Cooper, Suzy Parker and Diane Varsi star in Ten North Frederick, the 1958 screen adaptation of John O'Hara's novel...
Astronauts John Glenn and Scott Carpenter both looked down on the airglow layer from their soaring Mercury capsules and found it as bright from that vantage point as the earth under a quarter moon. Then, last May, Gordon Cooper took a special camera aloft with him and photographed the airglow as he passed over Australia on his 16th orbit. With color film twice as fast as anything available commercially, he shot a sharply defined green band 16 miles thick, distinct from the blue-white earth some 65 miles below. "It must have been a tremendous experience, seeing this wedding ring...
Though what Cooper saw in the green veil was no surprise to scientists, the astronaut did manage to jolt them with another discovery. As he passed over South America, Cooper caught a glimpse of a thin, barely visible rust-colored layer roughly 70 miles higher than the green stratum he had been searching for. His sighting confirmed an earlier report by Astronaut Wally Schirra, and scientists now suspect the green veil may be topped by a red one made up of photochemically stimulated atomic oxygen...

This divides into staff and maintenance costs of almost $10 per visitor. Houghton contends that the Cooper Union budget will soon not be able to handle such costs, which grow each year, while the attendance does not. "The question," he says, "is whether we are doing...
